Gunfire at a funeral, a man falling into the grave, a dog peeing on the casket, and the widow being asked out on dates during the visitation... "After my own mother passed I found, to my surprise, that a lot of people did not know the proper thing to do when confronted with a family in grief. And so this book was born to help you figure out, not only, what people do wrong, but how not to embarrass yourself when you are put in an awkward situation during the time a family is grieving. I hope this book will make you laugh at the strange things I have witnessed during my long history in a southern family. But I also hope that it will make you feel more comfortable when you deal with a friend or loved one who has gone through the pain of loss and reluctantly joined the club to which no one wants to belong." Sherry Ann Garland combines funerals and fried chicken with a little southern humor and grit. Enjoy this funny, sometimes poignant take on southern traditions.
