Days of Death : Nights of Service

by Mac Mc Cormick

This fascinating collection of human-interest stories clearly shows readers the deep level of commitment and caring readily found in American Funeral Service today. In an anthology of previously published “End Note” columns, Mac Mc Cormick shares many moving and touching moments roughly based on his own experiences. He recalls several meaningful aspects of “his interesting life as an undertaker with old-fashioned values in today’s fast food society.” Also found in this book is a collection of some of “The Funerals of the Famous” stories he has published. Mac masterfully details the lives, deaths, and burials of some of the nation’s most interesting celebrities and personalities. You will find surprising information about Colonel Harland Sanders, Agnes Moorehead, Kate Smith, Cole Porter, Milton Hershey, and Gutzon Borglum, and Wendell Willkie.
