Inhaltsangabe:
In Final Departures, Barry Albin-Dyer leaves the boundaries of his beloved Bermondsey and takes us on a breathless tour of the many traditions, customs and practices of dying around the world. In the tradition of his acclaimed Don't Drop the Coffin - now the subject of a six-part ITV series - Barry lifts the lid on the gruesome, the tragic, the hilarious and the mysterious secrets of the business of death.
His stories include the funerals of the famous - Elvis and John Lennon - and the not so famous, such as the burial of the man who invented the ejector seat. The gruesome, including the Sicilian practice of suspending a dead body onpublic display until the skin has dehydrated and dropped away, and the ridiculous, such as the American man who has his dead wife's body on display inside a glass coffee table in his living room.Unique, brilliant insight - with pictures!Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Barry Albin-Dyer owns F. A. Albin & Sons in Bermondsey, South London, one of Britain's largest and oldest family firms of funeral directors. He is now one of the UK's best-known undertakers and is consulted on and conducts some of the most high-profile funerals in the country. He is also the sole European agent for Detroit's controversial Cryonics Institute.
