I really enjoyed learning abt the inner workings or the mortuary world, and would probably read more it given the chance. However, I realized while listening to the audiobook that I don’t like how miss ask a mortician speaks about certain topics. Those things might have changed since this book is nearly a decade old, but it just irked me a bit. Idk.
