Publisher Description: Did you ever wonder what working at a grave yard would be like? It's not what you think. Don does not wear a top coat and tails. Nor does he work at midnight (the graveyard shift.) In his illuminating memoir, "Letting People Down" Memories of a Cemetery Worker, Don shares stories about life with dead people. Jumpers, cave-ins, voodoo-he's seen it all. He also shares some cemetery history and clears up many misconceptions surrounding his profession-one that many consider somewhat ghoulish. Here are just a few of the questions explored in this book:
Although Don's great sense of humor shines through in these factual anecdotes, he also has a serious side. He's learned a lot about death and grief during his long career, and his words are genuinely comforting. Through it all, Don has discovered that humor is a great coping mechanism. Whether you're genuinely curious about cemetery work or are just looking for a fascinating read, you'll find this book "to die for" |
