About this book
Thomas Lynch brings together his work as a poet and a Michigan funeral director in a collection of reflective essays about mortality, grief and ordinary life. The practical business of caring for the dead becomes a starting point for observations on families, rituals and the living people left behind. Thoughtful and often wry, this is a personal exploration of an occupation that most people encounter only at difficult moments.
