Description: On Dee Branch's first date with Johnnie Oliver a fourth - generation funeral director she knew she was in for a unique relationship when he had to leave for just a minute and he came back to the car with a corpse. Over twenty years later Dee was still in love with her charming southern gentleman when he passed away suddenly in 2007. Determined to carry on Johnnie's work Dee earned her mortuary science degree only to find herself no longer needed in the family business. So Dee crossed the racial divide in the most segregated industry in America and joined the staff of an African - American funeral home as a single white woman. In The Undertaker's Wife Oliver draws from her wealth of experience to provide candid and often hysterically funny advice on dying well and surviving the loss of those who have gone before. Her insights on the common ground of grief survival and the ever - present faithfulness of God (to all of us regardless of our race religious upbringing or socio - economic background) will help readers prepare for one of life's only certainties and do it with wisdom grace and a healthy dose of joy.
