Mortuary Confidential is a collection of anecdotes about the
lives and experiences of undertakers. It offers a different, more light hearted
perspective on the industry than I had experienced before, although it is not
as humorous as I had originally imagined.
It’s a real mix of some inspiring and heartbreaking stories –
some of which left me in tears – and some really funny ones including my
personal favourite of the undertaker who accidentally made up a person to look
like someone completely different. Unlike similar book Stiff there is very little technical detail and the focus is primarily
on the experiences of the undertakers rather than the corpse. There were also
no ‘gross out’ moments, making it a more appealing book, although, as mentioned
before, there are some very sad moments which may upset some people, especially
the recently bereaved.
Overall, I found it a humorous as well as thought provoking
book, which was extremely easy to read. It’s the kind of book you might take to
an appointment where you don’t want to be too bogged down in an evolving plot
but just want something light to pass the time.
Mortuary Confidential is available from Amazon UK for £6.47.
