At the center of the image is the cover of Evelyn Waugh's novella THE LOVED ONE, featuring the title drawn into an illustration of a coffin. Surrounding the cover, black text on a lime green background reads: Epitaph - Fiction about dying. The Loved One by Evelyn Waugh. deadparentswhatnow.com

Black text on a lime green background reads: Famous british writer evelyn waugh bitterly skewers the midcentury american funeral industry—and every single one of his characters—in his novella The Loved One. After the death of british expat and washed up screenwriter Sir Francis Hinsley, his roommate, pet cemetery employee dennis barlow, arranges his funeral at L.A.’s lavish whispering glades—only to be caught up in a wacky love triangle with cosmetician Aimée Thanatogenos and mortician Mr. Joyboy. deadparentswhatnow.com

Black text on a lime green background reads: What's the most outrageous experience you've had at a funeral home? 24-karat gold caskets?/ Wrong body at the wake? Let's hear it in the comments... deadparentswhatnow.com

Cover of Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh

Evelyn Waugh:
"I had been there before; first with Sebastian more than twenty years ago on a cloudless day in June, when the ditches were white with fool's-parsley and meadowsweet and the air heavy with all the scents of summer."
