She talks all about how she would get the family's approval after they viewed the prepared body usually the night before the service, then she would go back to the mortuary around 4am to rig up all her equipment actually HANGING ABOVE the coffins, and she would work with the undertaker to pose them (she says she never personally touched her subjects) for a few hours to create these portraits. She was really self reflective about her entry to this culture that was so removed from her, and how she moved through that space. Really, the whole thing was so moving. Get the book!! It's $4 from Powells via Amazon right now: https://www.amazon.com/Elizabeth-Heyert-Travelers/dp/3908247934/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524154296&sr=8-1&keywords=the+travelers+elizabeth+heyert
I just posted about one I just read!! Amazing book. Confessions of a Funeral Director
I have an entire BOOK for you. It's called Walking the Twilight Path.

The whole book is a good read for coming to terms with death and understanding the process to make it less frightening. The meditations are of a more pagan style, but overall it might be a good jumping off point for you!
After reading Caitlin Daoughty's book I read this one:

Highly recommended. I still get sucked into fears sometimes but it has some good philosophy that you can let sink in to deal.
If you're referring to the book she mentioned in the "Apache Death Cave" video, it was Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places by Colin Dickey. https://www.amazon.com/Ghostland-American-History-Haunted-Places-ebook/dp/B01BD1SUA6
