About the Book
An inside look at the funeral business, Provolone in the Casket is also the life story of Fran Montimurro, a second generation Italian-American who spent 35 years as a New York City funeral director. With humor, pathos, regret, exhuberance and philosophy, Fran tells the story of his rise to success in his chosen profession as he prepared the famous, the notorious and the anonymous for their final journeys. He discusses the processes and ethics of the funeral business, his religious faith and his personal views of the after life.
