Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Drawing on half a century spent working with the dead, mortician June Nadle recounts a run of strange, sometimes startling, and often moving episodes from her long career. Her stories take readers into the everyday routines of the funeral trade, where the unexpected is routine and the line between the grim and the comic is thin. Nadle writes with candor about the people she has served, the families who come through her doors, and the odd cases that stay with her. Along the way she reflects on what it means to care for the dead and the living who mourn them.
