Mortuary Confidential: Undertakers Spill the Dirt by Todd Harra, Kenneth McKenzie

5.0

After my grandmother's death last year, and after being around so many deceased people, I've been interested in Mortuary Science. So I decided to download some books that had to do with mortuary science and of course, real life situations. This book was definitely filled with quirky and funny moments, and a lot of the stories also hit home. Losing my grandmother was one of the hardest things I have ever been through and honestly it still affects me. After reading through all the situations these undertaker's go through, I must say....It sounds very interesting to me, and I wouldn't mind opening my own funeral home someday. Another thing that kind of pushed me to pursue this career is when I saw my grandmother at the funeral the day of her wake, I wasn't satisfied with how she was prepped. She had false teeth in the bottoms and since they had to take them out, they stuffed her mouth and it looked a little bit over done. And I thought maybe I should pursue this career so I can make the loved ones of the deceased satisfied with the caring of their loved one. I know I would never want someone else to feel that way.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I definitely see myself doing some of the clumsy antics some of the undertaker's went through. lol.
Besides, it's a lot easier dealing with the dead than the living.

EDIT: If you must, read chapters 6 and 20. Chapter 6 is called: "Grandma Talk Talk" and Chapter 20 is called: " Never go to bed angry".
These chapters are so important because they teach us how to value those that care about us, it shows you to never take for granted those that love you, because one day it will be too late.
