Allan Abbott is the co-founder of Abbott & Hast Mortuary, Inc., Southern California's leading funeral home and mortuary service company.
An intriguing everyman account of Tinseltown from an unexpected
perspective ... there are some anecdotes here that you'll never see
anywhere else. From Marilyn Monroe to Natalie Wood, to his own
triumphs and personal tragedies, I doubt I've read a biography as
eclectic -- or as sincere -- as Pardon My Hearse." -Glenn Dallas,
Manhattan Book Review
An eyebrow-raising memoir, unexpectedly humorous ... an at times
tongue-in-cheek, at times somewhat gruesome, yet constantly
fascinating tell-all. -Midwest Book Review
There's a lot to learn inside Pardon My Hearse. This book is like
eavesdropping at a funeral director's convention, with each tale
outrageously outdoing the last. -Terri Schlichenmeyer, The Bookworm
Sez
This highly readable volume is filled with delightful details,
colourful characters and fascinating insights. Pardon My Hearse is
a marvelous and lively memoir, one that manages to be both
engrossing and surprisingly revealing at the same time. Abbott
takes the reader through Hollywood funeral service history for the
first time with a fair-minded, insightful and amusing command of
the material that makes the journey rewarding every sober step of
the way. -Thomas A. McPherson, Professional Vehicle Historian
This uniquely vivid portrait of the mysterious funeral industry
proves that in life, as well as in death, truth is indeed stranger
than fiction ... one of those books that you will read over and
over again. -Professional Car Collector Magazine
