With 35 years spent in the funeral business, I penned my memoir book Undertakings of an Undertaker in 2015, and a new fiction short story book Tales Unleashed in 2019. I'm intrigued by 'unusual' type stories and will be presenting some here for you..please stop in often!

'Turn around or not?'
A photo taken at a cemetery in Waterloo, N.Y. kind of says it all for those taking the
side road in.....a picture is worth a thousand words I think the old saying was.
Now that you are here, scroll down and enjoy some of the latest stories I've posted..
just in time for Halloween....
The house upon the hill..
A very close encounter...
The scarecrow...
and several more. They are all short reads and I think you'l enjoy them. Thanks
and take care!

'So many abandoned cemeteries'......
It's a shame, but each year more and more cemeteries around the country are being
abandoned. There are several reasons for it. Many cities and towns just don't have the
money or the man power to keep them up. Mowing, clearing brush, re-setting stones
that have toppled because of weather, age and/or vandalism takes time and money.
Especially this is becoming epidemic in rural areas around the country. Few young
people want to 'step up' to help in maintaining the final resting place for those who
have gone before. Maybe we should collectively start a new national campaign or
group to address the problem.. what do you think? Is there an abandoned cemetery
or two near where you live? You can leave a comment below if you wish, I'd love
to hear from you. The picture above is of the Bayside-Acacia Cemetery in Queens.
