description
"Edmund
Gwenn, the famous actor, observed 'Dying is easy.
Comedy is difficult.' Well, any comic will tell you,
comedy about dying is really hard. But necessary. For
what greater triumph of the human spirit exists than
to defiantly mock the grinning reaper, specter of our
darkest fears? 'Hey Death: is that a sickle in your
hand or are you just glad to see me?'" -- by
Anita Wise, stand up comedian/writer. That passage
from the Foreword of this book sets the stage as it
dares to explore the comical depths of death and black
humor hidden deep within us all, featuring: Quaint
Quotes About Death from such people as Robin Williams,
Woody Allen & Dennis Miller; Funny Funeral Home
Stories from anonymous funeral directors, embalmers,
pall bearers, and others in the funeral service
industry; Hilarious Headstone Epitaphs from graveyards
in different parts of the world; and Funeral-Flavored
Comics from Non Sequitur & The Wizard of Id. |

editorial
reviews
Alistair
Highet, Litchfield County Times
What is going to happen to us when we die, if these
anecdotes are any indication, will be pretty damn
funny... After a couple of readings, I arrived at
the opinion that the book should be on the required
reading list of every college in the country. It
should be the subject of graduate dissertations.
Edward Bergin should be on "Nightline".
Richard Tambling, The Journal Inquirer
Yes, there is humor and human nature aplenty in this
book...
John Daley, Republican-American
Edward Bergin has a good, quick sense of humor... |
