Product Description

Product Description
Celebrity undertaker Barry Albin Dyer’s warm and endearing insights and anecdotes will give you a helpful understanding of death, and guidance on how to prepare in advance both for the funeral of a loved one and for your own ‘final departure’.

Mixing practical advice with fascinating true stories, Barry demonstrates that the mourning of a death can also be an opportunity for the celebration of a life.

Includes advice on making a will and arranging a funeral.


About the Author
Barry Albin Dyer is President of FIAT-IFTA, the world association of funeral directors, and heads up F. A. Albin and Sons in Bermondsey, South London, one of the country’s oldest family-run firm of funeral directors. His first book, Don’t Drop the Coffin became the basis of a six-part ITV documentary series of the same name. He is now one of the UK's best-known undertakers and is consulted on and conducts some of the most high-profile funerals in the country. He is also the sole European agent for Detroit's controversial Cryonics Institute.

By Jeane Trend-Hill (Essex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have read all of Barry's books and had the pleasure of meeting the man himself. He has a way of imparting the lighter side of undertaking, his stories are gems. I cried from laughing!
