Unless you're an energetic and totally "green" individual who plans to drag grandma out to the backyard when she leaves for the Great Bingo Parlor in the Sky, dig a very deep hole and plant a mulberry bush over her body, you're going to need a funeral director. We all make the final exit; who makes arrangements for everything from an elaborate casket and equally elaborate service to a simple cremation and return of cremains to the family is the funeral home staff. Gary Laderman's well-written and equally well-researched book traces the funeral industry from the early years of the 20th century where a funeral was a social highlight to our own time of growing preference for cremation. A highly readable work which deals with critics such as Jessica Mitford and advocates with an equal hand.
