Hi, I’m Rafaela

I am a writer, researcher, and author. My work is death-adjacent and very, very grounded in Portugal, my deceptively macabre homeland. My writing has appeared in Atlas Obscura, Catapult, The Order of the Good Death, and TalkDeath, among others.

My first book, “Death and Funeral Practices in Portugal,” is out now from Routledge.
