Confessions of an L.A. Funeral Director

Its 2:00 A.M. and less than two feet behind me is the body of a woman scheduled for burial in about six hours...A 24 year-old Hispanic male has taken a bullet to the head. A drug deal gone bad. The Mortician in charge has done a remarkable job hiding the head wound. The wound is invisible...This was no White House on Pennsylvania Avenue. No Beverly Hills. No Beverly Thrills. It was a step above a flop house and maybe only a half-step...Every day in the City of Angels and Actors, hundreds of people are buried. These are their stories...L.A. Funeral Director and comedy writer Denny Dormody, a working actor and an active member of the Screen Actors Guild, moonlights to pay the rent..."Denny Dormody, I hope you become a better writer."-- Kirk Douglas"Good to meet you. Good luck and good writing..."-- Michael Connelly, Author, The Black BoxComedy scribes Denny Dormody & Michael Conley have inked with Loeb & Loeb for Literary representation-- The Hollywood Reporter

Well written

I enjoyed this book. Smooth read & well written. This is not the creepy stuff, it won't keep you up at night. It's very respectful of all and leaves you with the impression that they are definitely the good guys.

Pretty good, very funny at times, poignant at others
