That's a quote from the book "Each Little Bird that Sings." It's the story of a young girl named Comfort who lives & helps out in her parents' funeral home. It is a sweet and funny story, mixed in with etiquette tips & recipes for funerals. Did I mention it's a kid's book?
It got me thinking about the party you don't want to plan (a funeral wake) and what I've learned about catering them.
