so-soThe title/description of the book is very misleading. I was expecting more stories from people who experienced a deeper connection with their loved ones who passed, or more stories of the afterlife. Unfortunately, it was mostly an essay of a 6th generation “deathcare” (as he calls it) worker who no longer wants to work in this business but fears he will disappoint his family. A little disappointed, but still got a few nice stories out of it.
pickThis is a good self reflection book. Each chapter gives a topic and questions to consider in making your own ethical will for your loved ones.
I had to say goodbye to my fur baby Gatsby. He was 14 and he was the best dog a girl could ask for. I saved him and he saved me, I‘m truly going to miss him. I got the tagged book for my daughter to help her understand what happened to him. I‘ll forever keep him in my heart

Growing up, my parents worked in a funeral home, so I had a different view of death than others around me at the time. Reading about other jobs that deal with death on a daily basis was fascinating, and I thought the author did a great job choosing a varied group of people and jobs to explore in this book.
This book is difficult at times to read. Even the author has trouble at one point, and I appreciated her honesty.
I studied archaeology & history at uni so I have plenty of suitably macabre book titles.
