Great Australian Bush Funeral Stories by Bill Swampy Marsh

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book edges and corners. Some splitting of laminate from front cover board. Minor marks on right book foredge.

Death doesn’t mean the end of memorable stories from the bush. In fact, often it’s just the beginning.

These tales from police officers, nurses, funeral directors, priests, gravediggers and those left behind, show that bush ingenuity comes to the fore when coping with corpses that won't cooperate or can't be found; bodies that don't stay buried; and weather and wildlife trying to sabotage the best-planned funerals.

This memorable and eye-opening collection of real-life accounts of passing away and saying goodbye in the Australian bush is by turns, poignant, bizarre, heartbreaking and hilarious. (back cover)
