About this audiobook
Why would someone leave a shining career in management to work among the dead?
Angjolie Mei, funeral director and 'life celebrant', recounts how the death of her father—a veteran known as 'The Coffin King' in the funeral industry—prompted this dramatic choice.
What exactly happens during embalming? What kind of post-death restoration is needed for second-degree burn victims? What are the little-known facts surrounding suicide in Singapore?
Angjolie offers the insider's view on these and other aspects of an industry usually shrouded in mystery, and reflects on how her perceptions of death, and life, have changed since she chose this extraordinary profession.
