Congratulations, Charles – this is an important book that contains a lot of information (and little ‘fluff’) and, thanks to your clear and concise writing, is easy and quick to read and digest. Anyone arranging a funeral would do well to read it so they can make better-informed choices.

At last! I’ve been reading your blog for ages, waiting in anticipation for the book to arrive. Have just ordered it from Amazon (at a very reasonable price I must say). I’ve been a funeral celebrant for 6 months and am also just starting out as an independent funeral arranger – so any advice is always gratefully received. Keep up the good work. Mags x

I’ve had to pay extra so I can have it guaranteed for Saturday morning. How irritating!

Excellent news Charles, congratulations. I’m just off to Amazon, as it were.

I just wish I’d read this post before the ‘bookshop’ (see OED) closed today!
Charles, I’m so pleased for you and all of us, and I really hope the GFG explodes over the funeral market like a volcanic dust-cloud obliterating all other travel in its glorious rage (or some such suitably sanguine simile).
Thank you; I believe I can say that from us all.
