Working within the funeral business is not what most people would expect. `Tradition,' `Care,' `Respect,' are words that we would normally associate with funeral companies. One man who knows, better than most, what really goes on, is Brian Woodworth. He started his career in Salford back in 1985 and has now penned this account of his working life. He goes into great detail to describe his journey through the last thirty odd years. From humorous stories to tragic deaths; the book encompasses his dealings with clergy, morticians, other funeral staff, gangsters, murderers and people bereft of common sense. It's all here. `Wooden Overcoat' throws a bright light on the shadowy world of those whose business is death. Some of the stories will make you laugh; some will make you cry, and some will certainly shock you. The final message from the author is:- `Do today what you were planning to do tomorrow - as tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Health is wealth.' Biography. Born in 1968 Brian began his career in funerals in 1985. In 1987 he married Pauline. They have four children and today live on the outskirts of Leigh, in Greater Manchester. Brian dedicates this book to all those who never got to live their dreams and to all those who never got to say goodbye .
