Batman’s parents, Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben, the Scarlet Witch’s family–why do almost all of the superhero myths have grief and death at their heart? We discuss what comic book heroes’ funeral traditions have in common with everyday families, with special guest Dr. William G. Hoy, contributor to the new book “Superhero Grief,” and Danielle Zimmerman, Legacy.com’s grief support coordinator.
In the new podcast series Immortalized, Legacy.com’s obituary reporters uncover the fascinating ways we pay tribute to those we’ve lost. Immortalized is available on major podcast platforms:
