Death is your Last Big Appointment

Only death gives meaning to life: inspiring insights from someone who should know  

Grief and joy, hilarity and despair, life and death. Christoph Kuckelkorn leaps almost effortlessly back and forth between these extremes – and, when his diary permits, sometimes within the space of just a few hours, preparing for a funeral in the morning, attending a meeting of the carnival festive committee at noon, a conversation with bereaved people in the afternoon, and a magnificent carnival session in the evening. His occupation teaches him every day just how fragile our existence is, how suddenly everything can change. And he also had personal experience of this when his first wife died in an accident. Through many gripping and moving stories, Christoph Kuckelkorn shows us from his unique perspective how we can lead a good life while fully acknowledging our mortality.
