Description
Elizabeth Meyer's memoir "Good Mourning" offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at a legendary funeral chapel in New York City. With a mix of big money, society drama, and universal human experience, this story is told from the perspective of a fashionista turned funeral planner. Meyer's journey into the world of funeral planning began unexpectedly, when she planned her own father's funeral as a receptionist. She discovered a knack for helping people cope with their grief, and soon found herself creating fitting send-offs for some of the city's most high-powered residents. This book is a lesson in how the human heart grieves and grows, revealing both illuminating and emotional moments. By turns humorous and darkly so, "Good Mourning" shares stories of those who have passed on, including two women who discovered their deceased husband was living a double life, and funerals that cost more than most weddings.
