What do you get when you combine martyrdom, relic worship, secret reburials, and a healing cane made from a coffin? Mormon history at its weirdest and most fascinating.

In this special on-site episode of the Sunstone Mormon History Podcast, Lindsay and Bryan take you on a field trip into the curious afterlife of Joseph Smith’s remains, following the journey of oak boxes, pine coffins, and a whole lot of sandbags. You’ll hear about nighttime reburials, canes made from murder-scene wood, relics infused with prophetic power, and family legends that somehow always include hair clippings. Also: healing miracles, the myth of the “Order of the Black Sticks,” and what really happened with the “fake” funerals in Nauvoo.

Spoiler alert: It’s a hot, chaotic mess. And we have questions.
