About this listen
Bill Edgar is the Coffin Confessor - a one-of-a-kind professional, a man on a mission to make good on these last requests on behalf of his soon-to-be-deceased clients. And this is the extraordinary story of how he became that man.
Bill has been many things in this life: homeless street-kid, son of one of Australia's most notorious gangsters, maximum-security prisoner, hard man, family man, car thief, professional punching bag, philosopher, inventor, private investigator, victim of horrific childhood sexual abuse and an activist fighting to bring down the institutions that let it happen. A survivor.
As a little boy, he learned the hard way that society is full of people who fall through the cracks - who die without their stories being told. Now his life's work is to make sure his clients' voices are heard, and their last wishes delivered: The small-town grandfather who needs his tastefully decorated sex dungeon destroyed before the kids find it. The woman who endured an abusive marriage for decades before finding freedom. The outlaw biker who is afraid of nothing . . . except telling the world he is in love with another man. The dad who needs to track down his estranged daughter so he can find a way to say he's sorry, with one final gift.
The Coffin Confessor brings these stories of the dead to life, all while sharing his own extraordinary journey. Confronting and confounding, heartwarming and heartbreaking, this is a story of survival and redemption, of a life lived on the fringes of society, on both sides of the law - and what that teaches you about living your best life . . . and death.©2021 Bill Edgar (P)2021 Penguin Random House Australia

Bills own life story was so touching
Amazing true story about how one man went from having nothing, being abused and living on the dangerous streets of Australia to running a successful buisness helping those who are dying. I went from wanting to cry to laughing at some of the requests he got! A brilliant true story

Fantastic
I saw a clip on social media about the coffin confessor and figured it would be an interesting read. I had no idea how real, honest, brutal, disgusting, sad, yet funny and uplifting this book would be. 10/10 - Thank you for sharing this!
