| Description: |
Barry Albin-Dyer runs a family firm of funeral directors in South London. In this book he provides an insight into the profession of death. Learn about cryogenics, gangland funerals, eccentric morticians, removing bodies from murder scenes and other incidents in the life of a funeral director. |
| Synopsis: |
Read by Barry himself, Don't Drop The Coffin! tells the compelling story of the owner of one of the UK's oldest family firms of funeral directors, in Rotherhithe, South London. At times funny, at times bizarre, at times moving, this is a rare insight into the profession of death. We learn about cryonics, gangland funerals, removing bodies from suicide and murder scenes, eccentric morticians, spooky happenings, fights in cemeteries and countless other remarkable incidents. In the life of this undertaker truth really does seem stranger than fiction. As well as explaining the tricks of his trade Barry, a Roman Catholic convert, ponders the meaning of death, the afterlife and the process of grieving, and refutes the claim that funeral directors prey on the vulnerable. |
