Book Description

November 19, 2004
Music, dancing, and death!

Death Does NOT Take a Holiday, embodies several generations of funeral service with many details about actual and interesting experiences including historical facts from ancient history to the present day.

As a child growing up in the close knit Bohemian community known as the Lawndale area of Chicago, John A. Budilovsky, learned the lessons of death early. But with strong parenting and encompassing love, he also learned to cherish and celebrate each day of his life.

Having lived in one of the most progressive eras in history his tale goes from the days of the horse and buggy to the present in detailing the changes that have affected the industry he came to love, the undertaking business and the world in which he lives.

Having glimpsed portions of the future at the New York World's Fair in 1939, he was still surprised by the advances in technology that took place in his lifetime. He invites you to journey with him though a life well spent lived with humor, sorrow, and love.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MOST INSPIRING BOOK, July 18, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
THIS IS A "MUST READ" BOOK, YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE STORY CONTENT, NOT YOUR EVERYDAY READ!
I CHOSE THIS BOOK BECAUSE THE AUTHOR HAPPENS TO BE MY HUSBAND'S COUSIN AND I WAS ALWAYS CURIOUS AS TO WHY HE CHOSE HIS OCCUPATION, WELL THIS BOOK IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT ABOUT "DEATH">IT IS A TRUE CELEBRATION ABOUT LIFE. "JOHN" THE AUTHOR GOES ON TO TELL READERS OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR HIS WIFE "LEE" AND HIS FAMILY AND ALL THE EVENTS THAT CAME TO HIM ALONG THE WAY>I'M SO GLAD KEN AND I READ THIS BOOK AND HOPE MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL HAVE THE SAME OPPERTUNITY.
