Life Worth Remembering: Harry Houdini

Behind the world's greatest escape artist stood a man devoted to something far less flashy: the truth.

Today, we're featuring Harry Houdini, who passed away ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO EXACTLY, October 31, 1926. Also on Halloween, fittingly, for a man whose life seemed to defy the ordinary rules of death itself.

He built his legend on death-defying stunts and impossible escapes, but in his later years, Houdini turned that same relentless skill toward exposing fraudulent spiritualists — protecting grieving families from being exploited by fake mediums who claimed to speak with the dead.

More than 2,000 mourners gathered in New York on November 4, 1926, to say goodbye. His body traveled from the Hamilton Funeral Home in Detroit in a bronze casket with a glass lid — a final touch of the showmanship that defined his life. He was laid to rest at Machpelah Cemetery in Queens, New York, where his grave bears the crest of the Society of American Magicians, a tribute to the art form he helped transform forever.

His legacy reminds us that even the most extraordinary lives are built on something simple: the courage to seek truth, and the will to protect the people who need it most.

There's something fitting about a holiday that asks us to sit with the spooky, the sentimental, and the silly all at once, because that's honestly a lot like life itself.

Tonight, as the porch lights go on and the little witches and superheroes make their rounds, we're thinking of all the families we've had the privilege of serving — and the memories that keep loved ones close, even the ones who aren't trick-or-treating with us anymore.

Wishing you a safe, sweet, and spirited Halloween.

There's a sweater in a closet somewhere that still smells like someone's cologne. A coffee mug nobody uses, but nobody can give away either. A recipe card in handwriting nobody else has.

Grief researchers call these "linking objects" — the small, ordinary things that keep us connected to the people we've lost. In our latest post, we talk about why the small things hit the hardest, and a few gentle ideas for honoring what's left behind.
