I am a bit squeamish around death but found this book educational and entertaining. The author is a mortician that answers questions that she gets (mainly from kids). It was a quick and oddly enough sometimes funny read.
I read the section about dying on a plane, ironically, while on a plane. This caused me to scrutinize my fellow passengers to see if they were dead. Every question had a funny but intelligent answer from Caitlin. Death isn't so scary when it's put in black and white (or multi-color as the answer to "Why do we turn colors when we die?" explains)
As to the answer to the title question? It's yes, but not right away.
