Omschrijving

Digger is a collection of stories gathered over nearly five decades in funeral service-some funny, some tender, some uncomfortable, and many unforgettable.

Growing up in a family funeral home in Fort Worth, Martin Thompson learned early that death has a way of revealing what matters most. Over time, he also discovered something that often surprises people: even in the middle of loss, humor has a way of showing up-sometimes quietly, sometimes at the worst possible moment, and sometimes exactly when it's needed.

These stories aren't lessons or sermons. They are reflections on family, friendship, faith, work, and the people we become while helping others say goodbye. Told with honesty, warmth, and a steady sense of humor, Digger invites readers behind the scenes of a profession most only encounter once or twice in a lifetime-and into a life shaped by listening, showing up, and finding grace where you least expect it.

Along the way, Thompson shares moments that are heartfelt and human, reminding us that even in difficult places, there is room for laughter, connection, and meaning. If you find yourself laughing on one page and quietly reflecting on the next, that's intentional. That's how life has always presented itself.

Written with compassion, humility, and insight, Digger is a thoughtful and engaging memoir for anyone who has ever faced loss, helped others through it, or simply appreciates a well-told story about life, work, and the moments that stay with us.
