Description: Over Our Dead Bodies: by Todd Harra, Kenneth Mckenzie With humor and heart, Over Our Dead Bodies does for the undertaking profession what Mary Roachs Stiff did for cadavers, and, like Caitlin Doughtys 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 mothers 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 doesnt."Charming and disarming . . . youll see the fun in funeral, humanity included."-Raymond Mungo, author of Famous Long Ago"Great fun.
