520 $aWhen the casket reached the front of the sanctuary, there was a loud cracking sound as the bottom fell out. And with a thump, down came Father Iggy.From shootouts at funerals to dead men screaming and runaway corpses, undertakers have plenty of unusual stories to tell and a special way of telling them.In this macabre and moving compilation, funeral directors across the country share their most embarrassing, jaw-dropping, irreverent, and deeply poignant stories about life at death's door. Discover what scares them and what moves them to tears. Learn about rookie mistakes and why death sometimes calls for duct tape.Enjoy tales of the dearly departed spending eternity naked from the waist down and getting bottled and corked in a wine bottle. And then meet their families: the weepers, the punchers, the stolidly dignified, and the ones who deliver their dead mother in a pickup truck.If there's one thing undertakers know, it's that death drives people crazy. These are the best "bodies of work" from America's darkest profession."Sick, funny, and brilliant! I love this book." Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of They Bite! and Rot & Ruin"As unpredictable and lively as a bunch of drunks at a New Orleans funeral."Joe R. Lansdale
