Strong Shoulders

by Barry Albin-Dyer

Strong Shoulders is the final book in Barry's acclaimed trilogy of memoirs. Similarly packed with astonishing true stories from the little-understood world of undertaking, Barry's particular aim with this book is to help people not to be scared of death, but to understand it and even find some comfort in what must one day come to us all. Amongst the anecdotes and memories, the book includes chapters on planning your own funeral, and how to make a will.

Strong Shoulders: A Funeral Director's Guide to Life and Death
I have read this book many times and it was through reading this book that I watched the TV series that was inspired by his books.
A really wonderful book and a truly wonderful man that did so much for others with the love and compassion he gave.
I cannot recommend a book more highly and one of my all time favourites to grace my bookshelf.
