Today, I welcome Barbara Bowman, the voice behind What Not to Do at Funerals. With wit, warmth, and a whole lot of heart, Barbara shares how navigating loss—personal and profound—led her to write a humorous yet compassionate guide to help others avoid awkward moments at funerals.
From heartfelt experiences to hilarious faux pas, Barbara reminds us that empathy and laughter can go hand in hand, even during life’s most difficult goodbyes.
