The Good Funeral Guide

A Must Read
The Good Funeral Guide is an incredible blog all about Funerals. It’s a fantastic resource not only for people who need to arrange a funeral for but also fort the funeral industry to plug into to see ‘what’s hot and what’s not!
Charles Cowling has a wonderful, humorous but also serious and very fair approach to reporting back advice and information.
There are few people out in the UK funeral industry who are both tough enough to say what’s what (even to the old school Funeral directors), yet gentle enough to encourage the new buds of the industry to bloom – all the while showing a fair and diplomatic opinion with the public’s interest at the forefront when sharing ideas and advise
Therefore I’d like to raise my cup of tea… (if I wasn’t 7 month pregnant it would be a rum and coke!) to Mr Cowling and his wonderful blog The Good Funeral Guide – and wish him all the luck when we get to see this blog in print
Great book and great folk!

I am in the middle of reading a fab book at the moment – called ‘Big Hearted Man’, I’m only on page 75 but the book has moved me so much that I just had to share it with you… Kate Boydell wrote the book after she was widowed in 1998 after nine years of marriage to her beloved husband Charlie. He died of heart failure at the age of 37.
Please take a look at her website www.merrywidow.me.uk – this is a hugely popular online resource for anyone who has lost a partner. Her Second book Death and How to Survive has had some fantastic reviews too.
While we are on about books …
I must introduce you all to a fellow Funeral Buddy Charles Cowling who writes a fabulous blog with some controversial and funny posts. He’s due to have a book published called ‘The Good Funeral Guide’ . Its sure to be a fantastic handbook and a real insight into the fast changing funeral Industry. I cannot wait to see it in the bookshops.
