Two of the most authoritative voices on the funeral industry
come together here in one volume to discuss the current state of
the funeral. Through their different lenses--one as a preacher and
one as a funeral director--Thomas G. Long and Thomas Lynch
alternately discuss several challenges facing "the good funeral,"
including the commercial aspects that have led many to be
suspicious of funeral directors, the sometimes tense relationship
between pastors and funeral directors, the tendency of modern
funerals to exclude the body from the service, and the rapid growth
in cremation. The book features forewords from Patrick Lynch,
President of the National Funeral Directors Association, and
Barbara Brown Taylor, highly praised author and preacher. It is an
essential resource for funeral directors, morticians, and pastors,
and anyone else interested in current funeral practices.
