Happy Christmas!

The entire team at the Good Funeral Guide thanks you, at this year’s end, for reading and responding — whether in exhilaration or exasperation — for your support, tip-offs, advice and good counsel. Together we form, I hope, a loose-limbed alliance of more or less fellow spirits with the shared aim of bringing death to life and the experience of a good funeral to everybody.

So here’s to 2011 and another year of benevolent activism!
