"Celebrated radio announcer and 15-year funeral home veteran A.L. Edwards brings an intricate and interesting tell-all memoir to the table that shows how even in death, it's all about the dollars.

Everyone needs a funeral home. If not for a loved one, one day, most definitely for themselves. For most people, death is the end. It rings clearly with a note of finality. Once the casket closes, the story is over.

In A.L. Edward's experience, death is only the beginning of the mutilated cash-cow that is the industry of death.

In What Happens When You Die: An Inside Look At The Ever-Growing Death Industry, A.L. Edwards gives readers a rare, insider look to the multi-billion-dollar business relying on you and your loved ones perishing.

With 15 years of experience within the funeral industry, A.L. Edwards provides stark commentary, cautious warnings, and resonating anecdotes in his behind-the-scenes look at the good, the bad and the ugly of the business.

From cremations to caskets and flower arrangements to gravestones, What Happens When You Die provides insider information to how corporations are encroaching upon your grief for the almighty dollar from someone who's seen it all.

Intended for adults over 30, What Happens When You Die is a sobering reminder to prepare for the end wrapped in an enjoyable narrative. A.L.'s unique storytelling and tone plunge readers into his memories, persuading them to devour ""just one more page!"""

Following a career as a radio announcer, author A.L. Edwards took a job at a funeral home. After spending 15 years in the business, he's learned what really goes on behind the scenes of death-centric businesses - and how corporations are ruining an industry once built on dignity and service. A.L. has written and spoken on the topic of grief and addiction; he's even ventured into the fiction genre with horror novels. Today, A.L. lives in the Southeast with his wife, dog, and bird. When not writing or speaking, he's playing music, entertaining, or story-telling in various places.
