Luis Bauer: Bestatters Diary - Der Tod ist mein Job: Stories from an Unusual Everyday Life

Luis Bauer is a young man who has dedicated himself to a subject most of us would rather avoid: death. As Germany's best-known funeral director and thanatopractician, he has no reservations about it. On the contrary - through his social media channels on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, he brings the taboo topic of death into public conversation and shows that dying and saying goodbye is something that touches all of us.

Luis grew up in his family's funeral home in Fürth, where he encountered death and grief from an early age.

Today, caring for the deceased is both his profession and his calling. He wants society to approach death and dying differently - and so he tells his story on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. Nearly 2 million people now follow him, curious about what goes on behind the scenes of a funeral home and why a young person would choose this unusual line of work.

Join Luis Bauer live as he reads from his book "Der Tod ist mein Job" and shares stories from his extraordinary day-to-day life as a funeral director. A rare chance to look behind the curtain of the funeral industry and see how death can be understood not only as an ending, but as part of life itself.
