Lilly Morgan has never been afraid of death.As a child, she became fascinated by the quiet dignity of the funeral home at the end of her street. What others found uncomfortable, Lilly saw as an opportunity to serve-to restore a face, preserve a memory, and give grieving families one final beautiful goodbye.Years later, Lilly has built her life around the profession she loves. She understands embalming, restorative art, difficult families, impossible requests, and even the occasional badly behaved corpse. What she understands considerably less is dating.Then she meets Kent.Their connection is immediate, complicated... and deeply personal. Lilly once cared for someone Kent loved during the worst moment of his family’s life. As romance grows between them, Lilly finds herself confronting something far more intimidating than a preparation room: Kent’s formidable mother, Grace, who cannot decide whether Lilly is an angel, a grim reminder of tragedy, or the last woman on earth she wants near her son.Through love, loss, laughter, illness, family conflict, and unforgettable goodbyes, Lilly begins to understand that her calling has never really been about death. It has always been about life.Warm, funny, unconventional, and deeply human, Makeup for Heaven: Memoirs of a Mortician celebrates the people who care for us at the end-and the messy, extraordinary relationships that make every moment before then worth living.
