Reviews-
One Foot in the Grave proves that books about death don’t have to be depressing. Daybell’s uniquely entertaining insider’s account of the burial business is lively, and even humorous at times, as he introduces readers to such quirky graveyard characters as: a lock-picking ghost named Eddie, a devoted widower who visits his wife’s grave every three hours, an attorney whose last wish is to be buried, in the largest coffin, and other unforgettable characters. . .Who would have thought that a book about death could be so lively?
Chad's experiences are a 'must-read' for anyone who has ever wondered about the process of laying to rest those we love. This book proves that people are dying to be funny!
Robert Kirby, Salt Lake Tribune columnist
Finally, a book that glibly exposes the often funny, always poignant truth behind the life of an undertaker.
