If the client is always dead. The undertaker on the strangest funerals from his practice

No circulation

Funeral ceremonies, black hearses, cemeteries, crypts, morgues – a familiar part of daily work if you are an employee of a funeral home. But despite the obvious proximity to death, this profession is more related to living people and their... stories, sometimes very funny ones. Guillaume Bayi worked for many years in a funeral home and shares real cases from his practice in his book. Why is there a phrase in French that literally translates to "biting the dead" to denote an undertaker? What can be funny during a funeral ceremony? Can a coffin fall out of a hearse? Where and what do future funeral home workers study? How is the work of a ritual bureau organized? You will learn about the strange, absurd, touching, amazing, dramatic, and sometimes even mysterious situations that arise at funerals, as well as about the peculiarities of a profession that seems gloomy and frightening to many.
