One of the most rewarding things in life is to have nice things sent your way...
and today I want to thank Peter Abraham, a funeral director in the UK for
his kind words about my book.
He and I met up many many months ago on the internet. I sent my book
to him. Peter does some writing about the trade in the UK where he works..
and we communicate frequently.
I thank him for his kindness... and maybe someday we will indeed meet and
swap some stories. Thanks Peter, you are a true gentleman.
Confessions of an Undertaker.
I was sent this book a little while ago now by a follower from the United States Stanley Swan. He is a retired funeral director who has written this fabulous book about his career in the funeral service. His time spent as a New York State licensed funeral director was made up of times of joy, sorrow and triumph. For over 35 years Stanley worked as a mortician attending to many situations including the 9/11 terrorist attack which is detailed very respectfully in this book. He comes across as sincere, caring and respectful. This is a real page turner that I couldn’t put down. Not a long book only 138 pages but just long enough to make the reader wanting more after they have finished. I can only hope that there is a second instalment of this book? This is not a gruesome book which gives macabre details of the embalming or autopsy process. It’s not that type of book. It tells the story of one mans career in an industry that is rather misunderstood in today’s society. The author gives the reader and insight as to what goes on in a funeral home as well as what he goes through personally outside of work which is a rarity. Most authors will only detail their professional lives and not their personal ones. All in all this was a fantastic book to read and I would highly recommend it to anyone. #author #book #bookreview #death #deathbook #deathbooks#deathcare #deathpositive #funeral #funeraldirector #mortician #morticianlife#undertaker #confessionsofanundertaker #funeralhome #funeralservice #911 #memoir#biography #blog #blogger #influencer
