Reviews

[Sarah Jackson]

A fascinating behind the scenes look into the operations of the funeral industry, combined with a history of London's Bermondsey district. Albin-Dyer manages to be both light-hearted and dignified in his explanations of the ins and outs of the business. He covers the heart-felt, sad, amusing and in some cases downright bizarre incidents in a relatable manner. An interesting read.
