  • Lancaster, Pennsylvania is home to the first public crematorium in the United States. I visited recently and learned about the building’s history.

    I like the phrase “Over half of all Americans were cremated last year.” It makes it sound like 160 million people were cremated and then nobody talked about it

      Lol, I should've caught that in writing. Yes, you're right -- it was the half of Americans who died in 2021.

    I just finished marathoning all your videos here and I have to say I am really glad I found your channel, I got accepted into medschool and will start it in about a week, I had been feeling the standard impostor syndrome and had been worried if I even would be able to have the motivation to keep up with the huge amount of content and was second guessing how much I really like medicine, but your channel reminded me of how much I love this stuff, it's so interesting, from the history to the proceedings and the ethics, I was reminded of how their's nothing else I'd rather do, so thanks for that :)

    Wouldn't cremation increase the "miasma" with the fumes from burning crematoriums? Or was it a short term smoke vs long term decay thing?

    What can we learn from this story? Easy: if you have a good idea, don't tell Rome, I think they finally admitted that Galileo MAY have been right in 1996, five hundred years later!!!! (that's why we haven't told them about medically assisted suicide yet, we won't, he he) That was fascinating, thanks.

    I've just come across your channel and have been watching (and greatly enjoying!) a bunch of your videos over the last couple of days.
    Just in case you ever read this, (and in case it's actually useful): I feel like this isn't the first time I've heard you comment about not being confident with your Latin pronunciations. I don't know about ecclesiastical Latin, but the modern reconstruction of spoken classical Latin is very consistent and relatively easy to pick up, and there are a number of TH-camrs who speak in and about it. The first ones I can think of are ScorpioMartianus and polýMATHY.
