About this book
The term "village undertaker" sounds antiquated and tends to conjure images of colonial or frontier America. Yet in these modern times, there is a man who claimed this title with pride and carried out the duties of honoring the dead and helping grieving families in a time-honored tradition.
Larry McElwain knew from an early age this would be his life's work, but the life of a funeral director is not always cloaked in the black robe of death. Larry looks back on the interesting requests and situations he found himself in. He shares unexpected stories, both serious and humorous. He also remembers the unique personalities that found their way into his life.
Whether you are struggling with grief, helping someone during their time of loss, or finding your way in dark times, Larry's experiences can help.
