With humor and heart, Over Our Dead Bodies does for the undertaking profession what Mary Roach's Stiff did for cadavers, and, like Caitlin Doughty's Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? gives us permission to embrace our morbid curiosity. From the authors of Mortuary Confidential.

Not knowing what to do, I sat on the church steps and waited. As the gravity of my failure began to well up in me, I began to cry....

I had lost the hearse!

From a dysfunctional family who turn their mother's wake into a full-blown riot, to funeral crashers looking for free meals, to a horse-drawn hearse taking the dearly departed for the ride of their afterlife, these accounts from actual undertakers will have you laughing, thinking, and gasping in disbelief. A literal graveyard of wild coincidences, slapstick humor, and touching moments, Over Our Dead Bodies explores the lighter side of the dead, the living, and the lone undertaker who has to make it all go as planned - even if it doesn't.

Even if you don’t feel like the death care industry is something you find interesting this is such a worthwhile read. Gives you faith in humanity & reminds us to appreciate life, not take our lives (or deaths too seriously) and that we are all connected by this universal experience

Love this listen!

The author was clearly proud of his calendar but I found the topic extremely boring, and I was annoyed when we kept returning to the topic.
