If the client is always dead. The tomb about the strangest funeral from his practice. Baya G.

Mourning ceremonies, black catfalks, cemeteries, crypts, morgues - the usual part of daily work, if you are an employee of the funeral bureau. But, despite the obvious proximity to death, this profession is more connected with living people and their stories, sometimes very funny.

Guillaume Baya worked for many years in a funeral bureau and is shared by real cases from practice in his book. Why in French they use an expression that literally translates as a “biting dead” to designate the tomb? What can make laugh during a mourning ceremony? Can a coffin fall out of a hearse? Where and what do future workers of the funeral bureau study? How is the work of a ritual bureau arranged?

Do you find out what strange, absurd, touching, amazing, dramatic and even sometimes mysterious situations arise at the funeral, as well as about the features of a profession that seems gloomy and frightening to many. P>
