"I liked this book a lot. Also, there are many recipes I would like to try.
This book and it's southern humor reminded me of the author, Celia Rivenbark, and her books."

By Elizabeth, Maurertown, VA

"This is a delightfully hilarious book that is exactly what the title says, complete with delicious recipes appropriate for taking to the home of the bereaved, wakes, or funeral receptions. The voice is pure Mississippi Delta, but anyone, especially if you're from the South, will recognize these people, traditions, and situations surrounding one of the most predictable of life's passages: death. I found myself laughing out loud more than once. The chapter on Episcopalians vs. Methodists was a scream. As with most really good humor, there is a lot of truth and wisdom here too, and the "guide" part of the title is, in my opinion, fulfilled. This was great fun and an easy read, especially if you skip the recipes and just read the rest."

"Funny--but also comforting look at the way Southerners deal with funerals-
includes recipies for traditional funeral reception foods"

"I am not from the Delta but I am from the South. Texans have many of the same traditions and recipes although it is the Baptist women who make the yummy casseroles. Can't wait to make the creamy pimiento cheese a.k.a. southern pate'. Oh, and this is an easy read...I read it in one day!"
