DEAD BUSINESS
About
FREE BOOK FOR MY READERS
DEAD BUSINESS is one of the six stories in Heart Warming Tales – Tales of Love, Heartbreak, and Romance, written by award-winning author Brenda Mohammed.
I created this short story about the undertaker's wife because of my own experience when I worked at a bank. I had to visit a funeral home to prepare a proposal for financing a crematorium for the owner.
The story is pure fiction.

Praise for this book
Your story Dead Business immediately caught my attention in a way I didn’t expect. There’s something so quietly intriguing about the perspective you chose, the undertaker’s wife and it gave the story a unique emotional depth that stayed with me even after reading. I found myself drawn not just to the setting, but to the subtle human experiences underneath it all the way love, loss, and everyday reality seem to intersect in such an unusual space.
What really stood out to me was your creativity in transforming a real-life experience into something so imaginative and reflective. It didn’t feel forced or overly dramatic, instead, it felt grounded, almost intimate, like I was stepping into a world most people don’t think about, yet one that reveals so much about relationships and emotional resilience.
I also appreciated how the story fits into Heart Warming Tales while still having its own distinct tone. There’s a quiet strength in how you explore themes of love and heartbreak from such an unconventional angle, and it made me reflect on how connection and emotion can exist even in places associated with endings.
