Mortuary Confidential:: Undertakers Spill the Dirt

<i>When the casket reached the front of the sanctuary, there was a loud cracking sound as the bottom fell out.</i> <i>And with a thump, down came Father Iggy.</i><br /> <br />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.<br /> <br />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.<br /> <br />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.<br /> <br />If there€s one thing undertakers know, it€s that death drives people crazy. These are the best €œbodies of work€ from America€s darkest profession.<br /> <br /><b>€œSick, funny, and brilliant! I love this book.€</b><br />€"<b>Jonathan Maberry</b>
