Recenzii
The content is extremely comprehensive but is broken down into easily assimilated sections. There are also plenty of signposts to relevant websites. The guide is intended to be used alongside the Good Funeral Guide website www.goodfuneralguide.co.uk
A good addition to a minister's collection of resources on funeral ministry, frank in its approach, and useful to lend to someone who wants to do some fresh thinking an planning ahead of time.
Unlikely as it may sound, it would be difficult to find a more practical, readable, informative and, unexpectedly, humorous book than The Good Funeral Guide.
A valuable resource, especially for those who may expect to find themselves responsible for arranging a funeral at some point in the future.
I took it on a long train journey with me and have read it cover to cover - please take this as some accolade, there's not many funeral books that would pass this test!... I know your book will be empowering.
A wealth of detail, anecdote and advice. It takes us by the hand through one of the most difficult experiences there are. It's the last word on the subject.
Title mentioned in an article on University's Death Day Conference where the author is a keynote speaker.
Charles Cowling (is) one of those wonderful and sadly all-too-rare writers who are able to be witty, serious, and funny all at the same time.
There are not many books that you can say with assurance should be in every home without exception, this is definitely one!
The sub-title says it all: "Everything you need to know, everything you need to do." Readers will have access to constantly updated online listings.
It is down to earth and realistically focused on cremation... I though the pros and cons of green burial, and on processing, particularly good... the book deserves to do well.
A wonderful addition to the resources folk are looking for to support them in times of loss of a family member of friend. Great!
