Not
one to read non-fiction very often a book in this genre has to catch my
interest. Needless to say, a book about undertakers and purporting to be
humorous did just that. When I first saw the title I thought it would be a
mystery. However, when I read the blurb and saw what it was really about, I
knew I just had to read it. I’m so glad I did. I knew very little about the
world of funeral directors and such, but this book is loaded with info about
the business as well as mostly humorous stories about things that can go wrong
or even go right. There are also some more poignant stories but for the most
part this book had me smiling, snorting, giggling and outright laughing at
various points.
I’ve
attempted to pick a favorite and it’s hard to do. Though I will say Chapter 8: Cremation and the Goat made me cringe,
but not for reasons you may think, Chapter 13: Epitaph has had me thinking for days now and Chapter 17: Ouija gave me goosebumps.
I
recommend this for anyone with a curious mind and a sense of humor.
