Rating:  Summary: ZZZZZZZZ........ Review: This book was very boring. I actually fell asleep while reading it. Most of the Epitaphs were from London, and they wern't even "Hilarious" as the title says. Most of the quotes were just plain dumb. I returned the book.
Rating:  Summary: Interesting Different Kind Of Humor Book Review: This is an interesting, small (95 pages) book filled with funeral and related humor. It's not for everyone, but many readers will enjoy the humor as related by "funeral workers." The major topics include Quaint Quotes, Ridiculous Removals and Funeral Arrangements, Wacky Wakes, Funny Funerals, and Hilarious Headstones. There are about 120 different stories, jokes and miscellaneous included. It makes for interesting reading and can bring you some smiles. Those who are offended by humor related to death and dying will not appreciate the book. Other readers will enjoy it. It's a change from the ordinary.

Rating:  Summary: Phenomenal !!!! Review: This is one of the greatest books I've ever read. I personally dislike humor...unless it's morbid...or about death....or epitaphs......and this book is perfect. Ed Bergin is a wonderful writer....He looks @ death's "lighter side"....I highly recommend this book ....Some of the tales are "to die for!"...Pun so intended. Enjoy. ;) Don't be ascared...heh.

Rating:  Summary: Gotta be in the industry to appreciate 'Underground Humor' Review: Well, there have been 6 reviews of 'Underground Humor' before me. With the obvious contrast of the reviews being all or nothing. I can only speculate that those negative reviews are from persons who have never worked in the funeral industry. My wife and I are both from the death care background and we both loved it as well as many of our associates. The only friend of ours that did not appreciate the book has never been part of the funeral biz, nor does he ever want to be part of it. So go figure. Well, as I see it, if you're in the biz, you'll love it, if not, oh well..... I give it two well-embalmed thumbs up.
Rating:  Summary: The funeral business comes alive with this hilarious book! Review: What a witty and clever fellow this Ed Bergin is to have put together such a unique collection of funny funeral-related stories, headstone epitaphs, and quotes about death. While death isn't a laughing matter, this book proves that funny things happen when you're dealing with people, dead or alive. It's great to see that funeral professionals working under the most stressful conditions have occasional reasons to laugh. If you have an advanced sense of humor, you will appreciate this book. It's not for stiffs.
