By now Julius Müller is known, even in northern Europe, as a 'Totally-Dedicated Undertaker'.

In a thoroughly amusing way he reveals an abundance of facts and details about dying and death.

Irony and poking fun have become his trademarks as he relates unusual stories about, e.g., the 'telephone angel', Germany's funniest death notice, or, the bereaved who mistakenly ate their loved one's ashes.

He lets us in on stories which include a cemetery for Hollywood stars, a training-cemetery for undertakers, and a pet cemetery. His new index of the 'Last Things' provides the reader with concise information about everything from arranging burials to the last rites.
