I just finished reading the book “Bodies in Motion and At Rest” by Thomas Lynch. I highly recommend this book. The author is a third-generation funeral director in Michigan and also a poet. Mr. Lynch is one of my favorite authors and so I will probably refer to him often in this blog. He has a very eloquent way of talking about experiences in the funeral industry. The way he writes can be humorous but at the same time not dis-respectful. This book is a collection of short essays, so you are able skip around and there is no story that you are missing out on. Some of the essays in the book deal with funerals and likening them to life and others are just about life experiences such as raising his kids and his divorce. This book would be good for the funeral director looking for a little laugh and anyone else who would like a little insight into the life of a funeral director. Check the book out here on Amazon.com. You are able to read the first couple of pages there.

My Undertaking 
I think that it is really cool that you are doing your own blog (although I am certain your wonderful wife would never kick you off). When you think about it this is really a public service becuase this is something most of us know little about but all of us will someday face! Keep up the blogging!
This is a very good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
Short but very precise information… Thanks for sharing
this one. A must read post!
