Final Departures by Barry Albin Dyer
Around the World with Britain's Most Remarkable Undertaker
Leaving the boundaries of his beloved Bermondsey, Barry Albin Dyer, Star of TV's "Don't Drop the Coffin", takes us on a whistle-stop tour of death around the world. He introduces us to an astonishing variety of attitudes and practices of dying, some gruesome, some bizarre and many quite beautiful and moving.
Barry's journey takes us from the mummies of ancient Egypt to the techno-funerals of modern-day Korea and into the future, when it will be possible to have your ashes sent into space. It tells the tales of famous deaths that have affected millions, such as those of Elvis, Diana and Eva Peron. And those less well-known but equally unique such as the woman whose body is now stored in a glass coffee table in her husband's living room! |
