Mortuary Confidential : Undertakers Spill the Dirt

Mortuary Confidential does for the undertaker profession what Stiff did for cadavers - it manages to be as informative and heartwarming as it is irreverent and hilarious. This collection of real stories from morticians and funeral directors across America feeds mainstream readers' dark curiosity and sense of humor about 'our world of death' with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into every conceivable facet from the people who touch it every day. 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 Americas darkest profession.Author: Harra, Todd,author,McKenzie, Ken,author Contributors: Harra, Todd,author,McKenzie, Ken,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 256 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 28 Dec 2021 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Citadel Press Inc.,U.S. Author/Director/Artist: Todd Harra Dimension (cm): 210x140x15 mm Package Dimension (cm): 17x208x140 mm Item Weight (g): 232 Package Weight (g): 240
