Author of The Bottom Drawer Book: the after death action plan.
Lisa Herbert makes conversations about death and funerals less awkward.
She is an author, journalist and audio producer, consumer and death awareness advocate, blogger, public speaker, and cemetery tour guide. A media professional for more than 20 years, Lisa has worked as a radio broadcaster, TV reporter and producer.
Her interest in Western society’s perception of death and dying was sparked as a teen after reading the books of renowned psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. The works, inspired by Dr Kübler-Ross’ work with terminally ill patients, were groundbreaking at the time. Never before had the emotional needs of the dying been given attention by the medical profession.
More than 50 years on, many people are still reluctant to talk about the inevitable. However, Lisa has found that once the discussion starts, people open up and give their mortality some measured thought. All they need is someone to initiate the discussion. And that’s where The Bottom Drawer Book: the after death action plan comes in -- openly and respectfully starting the conversation with colour and humour.
