Two of the most authoritative voices on the funeral industry come together
here in one volume to discuss the current state of the funeral. Through
their different lenses—one as a preacher and one as a funeral
director—Thomas G. Long and Thomas Lynch alternately discuss several
challenges facing "the good funeral," including the commercial aspects
that have led many to be suspicious of funeral directors, the sometimes
tense relationship between pastors and funeral directors, the tendency
of modern funerals to exclude the body from the service, and the rapid
growth in cremation. It is an essential resource for funeral directors, morticians, and pastors, and anyone else with an interest in current funeral practices.
