Gruesome Gary's Home for the Dead: A Funeral Alternative

A satirical novel about American funeral customs/habits and the industry that takes advantage of them. It hits harder and lower than Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One (though that was a really fine book), and doesn't miss a beat with the punchy storyline. Gruesome Gary's Home for the Dead is a funny, smooth read that ultimately imparts a satisfying message and a suggestion for a better way.
