BURY MY HEART IN BERMONDSEY
The sequel to TV's Don't Drop the Coffin. From Bermondsey to Baghdad. An eye opening account of the astonishing variety of work performed by F. A. Albin & Sons.

STRONG SHOULDERS
Barry's aim with this book is to help people not to be scared of death. Amongst the anecdotes and Bermondsey memories the book includes chapters on planning your own funeral, and how to make a will. Barry also sensitively describes his firm's involvement in recovering the bodies and organising ceremonies for some of the British victims of the Asian tsunami disaster.
