THE FINAL BATH

by Amber Lenore Winckler

The Final Bath is a story of those who chose to orchestrate by hand the last rite of passage for the rest of us...the last hands to touch us.

Young optimistic Louise is a recent graduate of Mortuary Science who begins her journey into a required two-year Embalmer's Apprenticeship. Confident in her education in caring for the dead, Louise struggles to understand, life, love, tragedy, and the common bond that attracts workers to the profession.

Unaware at first that the start of her professional life will also coincide with her path toward a spiritual awakening, Louise begins to understand the incredible cycle of life that ends with The Final Bath.

There was no final bath. I feel lied to.

If you ever wondered what happens when the funeral home picks up the body, read this. if you have ever wondered what it would be like to be a funeral director, read this. I loved it. could not put it down.

Eh, if it wasn't set in a funeral home I would have lost interest a few pages in. The subject matter is interesting, but the writing is fairly bland.
