About this episode

Trends in funerary practices and how the recently departed are remembered are nothing new. From face moulds of the dead to making the rear window of your car a rolling memorial, the way someone is remembered has changed through time. But would you turn the tattoos of a dead family member into art?

Kyle Sherwood does just that for a living and it’s proving quite popular. 

Remembrance is a very individual act. But would you ever preserve the tattoos of a loved one who's passed?

- Lehrmann jury dismissed
- Northern Rivers buyback scheme announced
- Dutton issues budget reply 
- Socceroos protest Qatar human rights
- Prince Harry’s book to be released in January
