With humor and heart, Over Our Dead Bodies does for the undertaking profession what Mary Roach's Stiff did for cadavers, and, like Caitlin Doughty's Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? gives us permission to embrace our morbid curiosity. From the authors of Mortuary Confidential.

Not knowing what to do, I sat on the church steps and waited. As the gravity of my failure began to well up in me, I began to cry....

I had lost the hearse!

From a dysfunctional family who turn their mother's wake into a full-blown riot, to funeral crashers looking for free meals, to a horse-drawn hearse taking the dearly departed for the ride of their afterlife, these accounts from actual undertakers will have you laughing, thinking, and gasping in disbelief. A literal graveyard of wild coincidences, slapstick humor, and touching moments, Over Our Dead Bodies explores the lighter side of the dead, the living, and the lone undertaker who has to make it all go as planned - even if it doesn't.

Not quite the stories I expected. Very American. Personally wasn’t a big fan of the narration but interesting nonetheless

I liked most of the content but I think it might have been better as a printed book rather than an audio book as it was hard to know when it was switching between the two male narrators to someone not hugely familiar with US accents. It also sounded like some parts had been patched in at a later date which created a jarring effect when listening.
The stories were quite interesting though the whole 'morticians calendar' section could have been reduced down to 10minutes and not lost much of interest.

Interesting but frustrating narration
