Ever wondered what it’s like to be a mortician?

Probably not. But if you’re dying to know (pun intended), Dead Body Guy: A Grave Undertaking lifts the lid on a world few dare to enter, and doesn’t hold back.

In this gripping, darkly humorous memoir, former Los Angeles mortician and coroner’s office removal agent Scott Taylor takes readers on a journey through nearly two decades of working with death in all its forms—ordinary, accidental and sometimes downright horrifying. From his unexpected start as a shy teenager working concessions at a drive-in theater to his transformation into a “dead body guy,” Taylor shares the raw, unfiltered reality of a profession wrapped in mystery.

Along the way, he handles high-profile and even crosses paths with celebrity deaths; a broad section of the book offers an insider’s look at the collision of Hollywood glamour and grim reality.

In 1996, overwhelmed by exhaustion, family turmoil, and his mother’s medical crisis, he was unable to meet the demands of funeral director training. Combined with years of professional stagnation that left him unprepared for the role, these pressures brought his mortuary career to an end. But his story doesn’t end there.

Equal parts coming-of-age story and insider exposé… Dead Body Guy is packed with candid anecdotes, grim details, unexpected heart, and enough gallows humor to keep the reader smiling. It’s a rare glimpse into the backstage of mortality—one that proves that, even in death, there’s room for reflection, laughter and life.
