The Celebrants by Steven Rowley

A beautiful book! What would you say to about your friends at their funeral? Why not do it while they are still alive? That’s the wonderful premise of this book that follows a group of 5 friends, who are shocked and unsteady at the death of a sixth at the same time as their college graduation. They make a pact to invoke a funeral for themselves when they most need the core group of five around them, for whatever life has thrown their way - divorce, death, even prison. It makes you ask yourself the questions… who do I want to surround me when I am most in my time of need and what do I want to be remembered for?
