Between Life and death: Funeral home, a forgotten profession

"Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides." This quote is from "Zhuangzi. Qi Wu Lun". All living things are relative to birth and death. "Life" prepares for "death", and "death" becomes the beginning of "life". Life and death are constantly changing, and life goes on. The general public in Hong Kong has a stereotypical impression of "funeral services", which is usually associated with disgust, inauspiciousness, supernatural phenomena, and making a lot of money... However, few people who actually have an in-depth understanding of this industry. "Funeral services" as a profession have been forgotten and misunderstood by the general public for a long time, and have gradually become a taboo topic. The three authors of this book share their knowledge of logistics, years of experience in the funeral and social welfare industries, and case studies to reveal the internal issues of the industry, such as corpse transportation, clearing haunted houses, funeral customs, and the unwritten rules of the funeral industry, allowing the public to have a glimpse into the mysterious funeral industry. The sharing of stories about the end of life also hopes that readers can reflect on the meaning of life and cherish the people around them.
