John Llewellyn's 'A cemetery should be forever', is most appropriately subtitled: 'The challenge to managers and directors'. The author argues that appropriate cemetery governance and management will plan for adequate endowment care funds, to ensure that the cemetery may be maintained long after its income from a finite sales life has ceased. Llewellyn also considers the modern development of cemeteries, their contemporary community roles, and other operational issues. While recognising that the main use of cemeteries is subsequent to funerals, the author appears somewhat more concerned about their long-term cultural values than with their short-term grief-related values. Nevertheless, this is essential reading for anyone involved in cemetery management, anywhere. We have provided personal copies to senior staff and directors, and recommended it to other industry and government personnel.

When i inquired why my order has not yet arrived (about 3weeks) the attendant said that it may have been lost. She was very apologetic and committed to send another copy which arrived on schedule. This was my first purchase on amazon.com and their response made me feel confident on their products and services.
For those in the memorial park industry who wants to make a difference in their products and services, this is required reading. Full of knowledge and insights. Inspiring, actually. Thank you!

Very informative. This book fills the need for cemetery managers and directors and provides valuable information unavailable in any other book on the subject of cemetery management and operation.

This is a thorough portrayal of the operations and requirements

of cemetaries and for those interested in the field I recommend

it.
