Thank you to NetGalley, Dog Ear Publishing (Cute name!) and the author for an e-ARC of this title. I would give this a 3.5, but that's not an option. I enjoyed this book. It wasn't grotesque, there were little facts about mortuaries scattered throughout the anecdotes and it was a nice, quick read. I have always been interested in the funeral business, just because it's such an inherent part of our culture. If you worry this book will have gory details...it doesn't. It's a nice little biography about the author's family mortuary business. The writing is very conversational, so it's not heavy or downcast. I'd recommend this.
