Everybody's going to die. Nobody gets out alive. Death is the one thing you can absolutely count on. Why then are people so reluctant to plan for it?
Full of humorous and poignant funeral stories and first-person accounts, Grave Expectations - Planning "The End" Like There's No Tomorrow, like the perennially popular wedding planners that line the shelves of every bookstore, is the ultimate handbook, packed with creative suggestions for realizing one's final wishes. This is a book that gives people permission to memorialize their lives on their own terms and in their own ways. This is a lively book about preparing for death; it's not a book to be afraid of. Who knew arranging a funeral could be fun?

Store description
Virginia Books & More was born out of the need to reduce a massive library of new books accumulated over a 42 year career in bookselling and publishing (from Tolstoy to Tinkerbell, as Paul Simon might say). Most are unread, many are signed by the authors. I'm also offering some posters, used books, advance review copies and other ephemera. Please email me with any comments or questions, and thanks in advance for your purchases.
