Aunt Martha in an Urn on the Mantel plus more

Kalfel wrote and illustrated So You’re Cremated. He presents a very humorous look at a sometimes touchy subject; what to do when planning the

reader’s funeral. From the title, it is obvious that Kalfel only discusses cremation in depth. The other methods of dealing with the remains

of the dead are merely mentioned. The options of dealing with the ashes are thoroughly discussed.
With a delicate hand, Kalfel takes the reader through the process and expands on the theme of where to dispose or scatter or bury remains.

With “You’ve Got Options,” Kalfel explains what is available and details how to make each method work to the reader’s satisfaction. Although

to many this is a gruesome subject Kalfel handles it with enough humor to make it palatable.
The book is laid out logically with the 100 ways numbered for convenience. Interspersed with Kalfel’s illustrations the difficult subject

matter is manageable. Throughout, 4 elements provide a poignant or light side to this discussion as well. In one of the “Did You Know” boxes

the reader learns “Hunter Thompson (the free-wheeling intoxicant-fueled journalist) and Graham Chapman (of Monty Python fame) were scattered

in fireworks displays.” “Quotable Quotes” break the reader away although most are not related to the discussion. “Final Gasps” are samples

from deceased persons’ tombstones or memorials. Finally, he illustrates several tombstones with pithy epithets.
All in all the construction of the book and the use of the illustrations make for interesting reading while keeping the content relevant and

useful. There is extensive supporting material starting with a Preface and continuing through two appendices with pages of useful and

relevant information.
Kalfel ends the book quite well in the section “Okay, Just Forget About It” as option 105. The reader can find out for themselves what that

option is.
This should be read by anyone that is looking for a few good chuckles and a lot of information. It may not convince anyone to be cremated,

but it will help everyone to understand that it is viable and could be quite an ending for a life that needs just that last hurrah.
