“Once our physical body takes its last breath and the heart beats the last time, things on earth are no longer about us. They shift to being about comforting those who are left behind,” she said.

Some people pay big money to confess their secrets after they die
Bill Edgar considers himself a ‘concierge for the dying’, and helps carry out people’s final wishes. Sometimes this means making sure a secret stays buried, other times it’s to let the skeletons out of the closet. In 2020, he was charging a flat fee of 10,000 Australian dollars for his unique services.
The private investigator, who hails from Australia, got dubbed the ‘Coffin Confessor’ after he started gatecrashing funerals and dropping bombshells left, right and center. “I don’t just crash a funeral to let loose on the bad stuff. I’ve let some beautiful messages go, or some really funny ones, or I’ve done a face-to-face delivering gifts from the afterlife, things like that.”
Edgar says that everyone goes to the grave with at least one secret. “Every person on the planet has a skeleton in the closet. It’s just a matter (of) if you want to let it out or not,” he said. “It could be good, bad, funny or sad, it doesn’t matter what it is.” The “Coffin Confessor” says he once had to tell mourners at a biker’s funeral that his client was gay. And his lover was in the audience.
