Thomas Lynch

Every life is a story worth telling.

Caring for the dead is a way of caring for the living.

We are the stories we tell ourselves.

To be human is to be fragile.

Death is the ultimate in the experience of living.

The hardest part of a funeral is the silence.

In the end, all we have are our relationships.

We shape our own funerals, just as we shape our lives.

The work we do at the end of life is a gift.

The dead are not dead; they are our memories.
