A Life Among the Dead - Stories from an Irish Funeral Director

When death is a way of life... In Have You Trouble? Lessons on Life and Death from an Irish Funeral Director , David McGowan takes us through the business, science, and the unexplained elements of death. Sharing stories that are poignant, humorous, and educational in turn, David explores the unique approach of Irish culture when it comes to grief and death and seeks to demystify the process of dying and what happens to the body afterward. The only certainty when we come into this life is that we are going to leave it, and yet it''s something most people are reluctant to discuss or allow themselves to think about. David''s mission is to open up conversations and encourage people to have an understanding of their loved ones wishes as well as their own.
