This book wasn't really what I was looking for. I thought it would be more about forensics (a "CSI" type of thing) and it wasn't. Basically, it's written by a woman who's a mortician and it recalls what she feels are poignant cases and lessons that can be learned from others. For example, one story was about two parents who were divorced whose son died in a car accident, and how they fought over who had custody to bury him, but then they worked it out in the end. It's a very short book (130 pages or so) and each story is about four pages long. She also has personal reflections at the end of each chapter. I think she wrote this as a guide for folks to read as either a warning to the mess you can leave behind if you don't plan ahead or maybe to help folks who are left behind over their loss. Either way, not what I was expecting.… (altro)
