Rupert Callender

This memoir is all about him and yet he seems unusually judgmental of those who grieve.
My perspective is different from his as I am a retired nurse who has worked in many situations and seen a lot of death, but not as much as my friend who came from a family of undertakers and even in the jungles of SE Asia. I have also attended rites of several types and what he describes would be at home with the California relatives, but not as eco-friendly as the Coloradans. A very interesting book of show more memories and perspectives.
I requested and received an EARC from Chelsea Green Publishing via NetGalley. show less

I loved it.
“Don’t ever be afraid, of anything, ever, because you are already dead.
This moment, now, this is the moment between the click and the bang.
You are already dead.”
Claire and Rupert Callander, undertakers
