A big thank you to Nanou, a thanatopractor with 17 years of experience, for visiting the LEGEND studio! She is responsible for preparing the deceased so that they regain the appearance their loved ones knew when laid out in the funeral parlor. She came to share what she loves about this unique profession, what she has discovered on the bodies she prepares, and the challenges involved in reconstructing bodies following suicides or accidents. Her book, *Les yeux qu’on ferme* (published by Éditions 41), will be released on October 24, 2024.
