An Interview with a Coroner and an Author that Co-Wrote a Book About Death

On this episode of Exploring the Eighth House, Miriam Slozberg delves further into the topic of death, and speaks to author Korttany Finn, and coroner, Jacquie Purcell about the book they had co-written Spoiler Alert: You're Gonna Die- Unveiling Death One Question at a Time. 

Korttany Finn has always had a knack for writing stories. She spends a great deal of time sharing humorous anecdotes about daily life with her husband, Brendan and their three children. Korttany’s love of sharing her own stories quickly expanded to those around her. She is devoted to taking other people’s experiences, tuning and polishing them to perfection, then bringing them to life in print. When not writing, Korttany mentors teenage moms at a support group that provides parenting tools and resources. 

Jacquie Purcell is a Deputy Coroner from Yorkville, Illinois, with over 20 years of experience in the death industry, ranging from funeral service to death investigations. She's a nationally board certified funeral director and embalmer, as well as a Diplomate of the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators.
