“There are ways of dying that don't end in funerals. Types of death you can't smell.”
“It's different when the person you love dies. There's an awful finality to death. But it is final. The end. And there's the funeral, family gatherings, grieving, all of those necessary rituals. And they help, believe me. When the object of your love just disappears, there's no way to deal with the grief and pain.”
“I don't fear death--I fear dying before I've read Dickens end to end.”
“You live you die and death not ends it.”
“I’m the god of funerals. I know every death custom in the world—how to die properly, how to prepare the body and soul for the afterlife. I live for death.”“You must be fun at parties,” I said.”
“Why should I be sad? Everyone has to die. If you have a body, it's too late to cry. It's only funerals I can't stand.”
