In Final Departures, Barry Albin Dyer leavers the boundaries of his beloved Bermondsey to take us on a whistle-stop tour of death around the world. In this book, he introduces us to an astonishing variety of attitudes and practices of dying—some gruesome, some bizarre, and many quite beautiful and moving. Barry's unique journey takes us from the mummies of ancient Egypt to the techno-funerals of modern-day Korea and into the future, when it will be possible to have your ashes sent into space.
From graveside punch-ups and gangland-style funerals to the sci-fi mysteries of cryonic suspension, this is the story of Barry Albin-Dyer, who runs one of the UK's oldest family firms of funeral directors, in Rotherhithe, South London.
Sequel to the hit book and TV series 'Don't Drop the Coffin ', 'Bury My Heart in Bermondsey' continues the astonishing story of Britain's 'most remarkable undertaker', Barry Albin Dyer.
