The Undertaker's Wife  The Undertaker’s Wife gives new meaning to the term “living above the store” – when that store happens to be a funeral home. When Celia Hastings married her husband, John, whose family owned a small-town funeral home, she thought she was going to live the life of an Air Force spouse. However, it didn’t work out that way. Ten years later, the man she married became the head of the family business. This book tells the story of how she changed from someone who was uncomfortable with the idea of death to someone who officiates at funerals and plays the organ. Along the way, she attained a master’s degree in religious education from Western Theological Seminary and became a published author. The book is full of her faith-filled stories of the people and situations she has encountered in this unusual line of work, some humorous, some touching, but all permeated with God’s grace. She also offers a wealth of practical information about planning and holding a funeral, and dealing with grief. Reviewed by Cheryl Moore |
