Anotace knihy

'I would always make a beeline for the yard so I could watch the horses being groomed, the carriages polished and the coffins being made. I thought it was magical.' Since he can remember, Stan Harris (more commonly known as Stan Cribbs), spent his weekends captivated by the goings-on at his grandparents' funeral home. At fourteen, and much to the reluctance of his father, he dons his first suit and joins the family business as an apprentice to his quick-tempered uncle. Entering the profession at a time when an undertaker's role exposed them to the brutal realities of World War II, Stan spends his teenage years recovering dead bodies in the dark and standing guard over funeral carriages during air raids. After the war, with unfailing good humour, Stan takes us on a journey through his National Service, marriage and unpredictable life as an East End undertaker.
