The Irish do death differently. Funeral attendance is a solemn duty - but it can also be a big day out, requiring sophisticated crowd control, creative parking solutions and a high-end sound system. Despite having the same basic end-of-life infrastructure as other Western countries, Irish culture handles death with a unique blend of dignified ritual and warm sociability. In 'Sorry for Your Trouble', Ann Marie Hourihane holds up a mirror to the Irish way of death - the funny bits, the sad bits, and the hard-to-explain bits that tell us so much about who we are.
