Comfort Snowberger has attended 247 funerals. That’s a lot for a ten-year-old. But if
your family runs the town funeral home and their motto is “We Live to Serve,” then
that’s what you do. Yes, it’s sad when Great-great aunt Florentine drops dead—just like
that in the vegetable garden—but Comfort knows how to handle loss. What she can’t
handle is her crazy cousin Peach, who ruins every family occasion, and her best friend,
Declaration, who suddenly won’t speak to her. Aunt Florentine’s funeral will be a time to
remember. But all Comfort really wants to do is sit in her closet with her dog, Dismay,
and hide.
Life is full of surprises. And the biggest one of all is learning what it takes to handle
them.
