A Way of Life: Portraits from the Funeral Trade
Funeral director, gravedigger, embalmer, priest, pathologist. Len Grant’s portraits and interviews reveal the humanity, care and compassion of those involved with the realities of life after death.
With passion and sincerity, his subjects talk about their day-to-day routine in the ‘dismal trade’. For many it’s a vocation… a way of life.
‘Such a fine eye! Such a well-tuned ear!… A Way of Life brings faces, voices and a rich humanity. A rare and welcome find.’
Thomas Lynch, author of The Undertaking.
