Undertakers - Who'd Have 'Em?

Black Humour Books would like to welcome you to this Web site.

This site was primarily conceived as a culmination of research I did into the practices of real-life people in the persuit of their professions, namely Undertakers, Police and Morticians. Don't ask why, I have asked myself that question many times. Maybe I was just curious about what my Father did later on in his life, after he sold all the Antique shops he used to own.

I spent many an happy hour at the local watering holes of these respectable people, listening to their stories, documenting all of the pranks, antics and practices, in an effort to do some research for a story I was writing at the time. However, this particular story materialized in another form, as the research I was doing, turned out to be the start of this book you are going to read, called "Undertakers, who'd have 'em?"

It wasn't intentional that I wrote stories about these seemingly clandestine operators, just that what I heard, made me sit up and take notice and think about which direction I was being taken. After all, what set out to be research for my other book, led me in a different direction completely.

All the stories in this book, are as told to me by real people. They're not invented or embellished in any way, shape or form. This book really isn't for the general public, but I see no good reason why anyone should be denied the right to read it.

This is the only time I have had enough spare time to concentrate fully on finishing what I started - The Books! 

So, go to the next page "Undertakers, who'd have 'em?"
