Discover a more lighthearted side of the funeral industry in this collection of real-life stories from the authors of Mortuary Confidential.

Not knowing what to do, I sat on the church steps and waited. As the gravity of my failure began to well up in me, I began to cry... I Had Lost The Hearse!

Funerals and the all the things that accompany them are traditionally somber, contemplative events in which the bereaved look to their undertaker to guide them through that most difficult of times.

From a dysfunctional family who turn their mother's wake into a full-blown riot, to funeral crashers looking for free meals, to a horse-drawn hearse taking the dearly departed for the ride of their afterlife, these accounts from actual undertakers will have you laughing, thinking, and gasping in disbelief. A literal graveyard of wild coincidences, slapstick humor, and touching moments, Over Our Dead Bodies explores the lighter side of the dead, the living, and the lone undertaker who must make it all go as planned -- even if it doesn't.
