Reviews
"This illuminating, brisk guide breathes vibrant life into a topic many would rather avoid."-- Publishers Weekly "Just the right touch of macabre....helpful, introspective, and fun."-- Library Journal "[A] concise but comprehensive guide with charm, wit and more than a little absurdity. It's the rare book that I'd recommend even to someone who hates the subject matter (in fact, I'd argue that's precisely who needs it the most)."--Jason Pargin, former executive editor of Cracked.com and author of John Dies at the End "Fact-packed and funny, It's Your Funeral! is essential reading for these changing times."--Florence Isaacs, author of Do I Have to Wear Black to a Funeral? "Glib and slightly irreverent, this quirky tome is packed with useful nuggets for planning one's final send off. With breezy writing and helpful planning guides, It's Your Funeral! makes the task of funeral planning seem less daunting, and dare I say a bit of fun."--Todd Harra, undertaker and author of Mortuary Confidential "Who knew preparing for death could be so amusing? I laughed out loud while reading the first page of Kathy Benjamin's It's Your Funeral , and my enjoyment continued throughout the book. But Benjamin's delightfully wry sense of humor is mixed with genuine wisdom about how we can handle our inevitable demise with grace. This is a book for anyone who is mortal--which means all of us."--Lori Erickson, author of Near the Exit: Travels with the Not-So-Grim Reaper "Dying seems bad--which is why I never really planned to do it--but Kathy's hilarious and informative book proves that it doesn't have to be. I laughed, I learned and I even started coming up with basic plans for my own funeral including a funeral cake (which, Kathy's right, should be a thing). I'm still not entirely sold on the *idea* of dying, but I at least feel better equipped to handle it on a logistical level."--Daniel O'Brien, writer on Last Week Tonight "Kathy Benjamin is amazing at finding answers I never expected, to questions I never expected I'd ask. I am thrilled she's applied those skills to my future ultimate party ('ultimate' in the sense that I get to host it laying down)."--Alex Schmidt, comedy writer and host of Secretly Incredibly Fascinating, 2022 Imadjinn Award Finalist "Benjamin exposes readers to death in a light, humorous, and practical way."-- Chicago Tribune "Kathy Benjamin puts the fun in funerals by making readers chuckle, kind of in a shoulder-nudging way that lets us know it's okay if we don't necessarily want crying beside our crypts."-- PostBulletin.com "This illuminating, brisk guide breathes vibrant life into a topic many would rather avoid."-- Publishers Weekly "Just the right touch of macabre....helpful, introspective, and fun."-- Library Journal "A complete, non-depressing reference to end-of-life planning that every household should have and every person should read."-- BookTrib "Laugh-out-loud funny."-- GeekMom, 5/5 stars "[A] concise but comprehensive guide with charm, wit and more than a little absurdity. It's the rare book that I'd recommend even to someone who hates the subject matter (in fact, I'd argue that's precisely who needs it the most)."--Jason Pargin, former executive editor of Cracked.com and author of John Dies at the End "Fact-packed and funny, It's Your Funeral! is essential reading for these changing times."--Florence Isaacs, author of Do I Have to Wear Black to a Funeral?

I found it to be witty, informative, funny, and just really fascinating. I learned so much."--Lorena Alvarez Ruiz, host of Conversations on Death "This is very well thought-out and pretty darn well-educated...the book is really super handy."--Brian Waters, co-host of Undertaking: The Podcast "[A] concise but comprehensive guide with charm, wit and more than a little absurdity.

- s***p (563)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBrand new and sealed, high quality, great price below retail. Looks great. Packaged well, shipped soon and arrived quickly. Only issue was communications. For the first couple of days after shipping there was no tracking info. When I inquired about this I received what read like a computer generated response strangely asking me for info to identify the product, even though the message I sent was through eBay and for this product. But, then, tracking info appeared after a few days.
- r***i (303)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis is a top-notch seller and highly recommended for all book-related purchases. The item was well packaged and promptly arranged for shipping. They described it accurately and honestly, and the item arrived in new, as described condition. The price provided good value considering the item's condition!
- o***h (437)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePerfect new book! Excellent packaging! Free shipping......though slow as molasses. This company utilizes shipping partners and apparently they have a lot of shipping partners and everyone of them had their hands on the package before it got into the hands of USPS who finally shipped the package. Good communication.
