Bury My Heart in Bermondsey: The Sequel to TV's Don't Drop the Coffin by Barry Albin Dyer
Bury My Heart in Bermondsey captures more of the magic that made Don't Drop the Coffin such a hit. So much more than just a book about funerals - Barry writes about human passion and compassion, tragedy and comedy, the natural and the supernatural.All this and more is part of the daily routine for Barry and his small but charismatic historic family firm of funeral directors based in Bermondsey, South London...Bury My Heart in Bermondsey is Barry's eye-opening account of the astonishing variety of work his firm undertakes, including the repatriation of bodies from the World Trade Centre and the Iraq War, the typical 'cockney funeral' and the horrors of the 'night shift'!
