A thoughful, thought provoking and well written account of the work of a council funeral officer whose job was to arrange the funerals of people who had no family able to do it for them.
While dealing with the necessary but often frustrating burocracy Evie King tries to find out the character and lives of these forgotten people and give them the funeral they would have wanted.
It was well balanced too, the people you would have quite liked to have met and those you probably or in one case would have definitely not.
