The Good Funeral Guide
Bloomsbury Continuum (Verlag)
978-1-4729-7594-2 (ISBN)
The Good Funeral Guide is the first ever independent consumer guide to the funeral industry. It is for anyone who:
- needs to arrange a funeral for someone now
- has sick or elderly relatives or friends and knows that a funeral is imminent
- wants to find a good funeral director and have some say in the funeral itself
- wants to make future arrangements for their own funeral
- would like to learn about deaths and funerals
Authoritative, impartial and empowering, it is indispensable for those who don't want a conventional religious ceremony and invaluable for those who do.
This is a book we will all need - probably more than once.
Charles Cowling is a trained funeral celebrant, committed to empowering families to let their people go with peace, dignity and love. He also trains funeral celebrants and reviews schools for The Good School Guide.
