Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Missing chapters 1, 2 & 3, which had been torn out. Not as good as other mortuary books I've read. Short 1-1.5 page stories about embarrassing things that have gone on in the business. Copyright 2010 but feels more dated than that. I would prefer a book all about the experience of one person, rather than this collection of short stories from many different people. For the non-mortuary layman, not recommended. True death industry stories collected by the authors, who are both funeral directors. Topics range from the humorous, such as one guy who got locked out of his hearse, and then the hospital, when he went to pick up a body one night. Others stories are contemplative, such as the sadness of having to deal with the body of a loved one, and other stories are in the "crazy" category, like the huge family brawl during the funeral.

When the casket reached the front of the sanctuary, there was a loud cracking sound as the bottom fell out. And with a thump, down came Father Iggy. From shoot-outs at funerals to dead men screaming and runaway corpses, undertakers have plenty of unusual stories to tell-and a special way of telling them. In this macabre and moving compilation, funeral directors across the country share their most embarrassing, jaw-dropping, irreverent, and deeply poignant stories about life at death's door. Discover what scares them and what moves them to tears. Learn about rookie mistakes and why death sometimes calls for duct tape. Enjoy tales of the dearly departed spending eternity naked from the waist down and getting bottled and corked-in a wine bottle. And then meet their families-the weepers, the punchers, the stolidly dignified, and the ones who deliver their dead mother in a pickup truck. If there's one thing undertakers know, it's that death drives people crazy. These are the best "bodies of work" from America's darkest profession. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
