It Tolls For Thee: A guide to celebrating and reclaiming the end of life
This book recounts the journey of Tom Morton, a funeral celebrant who becomes the sole independent funeral celebrant on the remote Shetland Islands. After a close encounter with death, Tom sought a change of pace and perspective, leading him to a journey into the world of the dead. Tom learns that working with death and the dead requires adaptability and a flexible approach to faith and philosophy. He explores various traditions, discovering the importance of ritual, humor, and finding words for the beyond language. This book offers a thought-provoking perspective on celebrating mortality. While grief is inevitable, Tom shows how we can mourn together in a way that feels appropriate to the deceased, ultimately cultivating a healthy attitude towards our own end.
