Description
So Far So What! is Julian M. Watson's candid and often humorous memoir about his experiences in funeral directing from 1976 to 1988.
The story follows Watson as he navigates the challenges of running a family business, including learning to drive a hearse with minimal instruction and facing the grim reality of a long-deceased body awaiting removal. Along the way, he encounters a colourful cast of characters who add depth and dimension to his narrative.
Through Watson's eyes, we witness the delicate balance between reverence for the departed and the practicalities of the trade, offering insights into the complexities of human nature and the bonds that unite us in both life and death. This book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of laughter to illuminate even the darkest of times.
