Audio of the sequel to the hit book and TV series Don't Drop the Coffin!, Bury My Heart in Bermondsey continues the astonishing story of 'Britain's most remarkable undertaker' Barry Albin Dyer
Bury My Heart in Bermondsey captures more of the magic that made Don't Drop the Coffin such a hit.

All this and more is part of the daily routine for Barry and his small but charismatic historic family firm of funeral directors based in Bermondsey, South London...Bury My Heart in Bermondsey is Barry's eye-opening account of the astonishing variety of work his firm undertakes, including the repatriation of bodies from the World Trade Centre and the Iraq War, the typical 'cockney funeral' and the horrors of the 'night shift'!

Barry Albin Dyer owns F. A. Albin & Sons in Bermondsey, South London, one of Britain's oldest family firms of funeral directors. His first book, Don't Drop the Coffin!, was turned into a popular six-part ITV series of the same name (Summer 2003). He is now one of the UK's best-known undertakers and is consulted on and conducts some of the most high-profile funerals in the country. He is also the sole European agent for Detroit's controversial Cryonics Institute.
