The Funeral Planner eBook Lynn Isenberg
The Funeral Planner by Lynn Isenberg brings a refreshing take on grieving and loss. Madison Banks, an entrepreneur and workaholic, gets inspiration for her new business after a very personal loss. Her new business, Lights Out Enterprises, focuses on pre-need life celebrations: customizable "parties" that focus on celebrating someone's life after they pass away. Isenberg makes a good decision to not only focus on this more positive approach through her characters, but also to acknowledge and face the reality of loss after someone has passed, and that this is a very painful process. For anyone who has lost, this book puts a very positive and unique spin on how to remember and celebrate the person who left.The main character, Madison Banks, adds another dimension on the process of grieving and celebrating a life by refusing to accept her own grief and loss. While acknowledging her own loss, she refuses to face it by dealing with her own grief, even while trying to help others deal with their own. She buries herself in her work, like so many of us do, instead of personally dealing with the more important issues that she helps her clients with: who am I really? What do I really want out of my life? How do I want to be remembered?
While no academic paper on grief and loss (and in this book there are more types of loss than simply death), The Funeral Planner is a light and fun take on the subject. It is a humorous and inspiring reminder that we might all need to take time out of our busy lives that distract us from asking the central questions about ourselves and the mark we leave behind.

The Funeral Planner eBook Lynn Isenberg Reviews
Even as a child Maddy Banks equated self worth to be equal to net worth. So she is concerned that she has yet to make her entrepreneurial mark. Maddy has no time for self pity as she travels from Los Angeles to Ann Arbor to attend the funeral of her friend Tara Pintock.
This second sudden death, last year her cousin was hit by lightning, with a canned eulogy by a clergy who never knew the deceased has Maddy thinking that ceremonies should be customized to honor the dearly departed and provide solace to the guests. Her Uncle Sam lends her $15K to develop the strategic business plan for Lights Out and soon sells the concept to venture capitalist Victor Winston. Her business booms until the Fed Uncle Sam pulls the plug on her. She misses Victor, who encouraged her every step of the way as he was with her the extra miles beyond that of an investor, more than Lights Out. Maddy reconsiders her mantra as her self worth is much higher than her net worth if she can persuade Victor that he invested in love.
THE FUNERAL PLANNER is a primer for starting a business with satirical chapter titles that Maddy's entrepreneurial efforts never seem to quite achieve. Maddy is terrific as even as a preadolescent preferred the financial reports over dolls. Her how to succeed at business with trying makes for a fine chick lit tale; even when she breaks the first commandment of the Bush Administration "Thou shall not worship any other god but Adam Smith" when she entered the dark side of placing her personal life over the bottom line.

Love Lynn's The Funeral Planner books, and got a sneak preview of her Hi-Def Digital Series on DVD that is due out this spring with a sparkling Hollywood cast that will make you laugh and think about how you want to be remembered. Three women plan Life Celebrations with fun twists and a coffee shop office in Santa Monica, CA, including Maddy Banks (Heather Mazur/ CSI), Eve (Joss Stone/ hot singer), and Sierra (Marisa Ramirez/ General Hospital). What an awesome compliment to Lynn's comedy novel trilogy (The Funeral Planner, The Funeral Planner Goes to the White House and The Funeral Planner Goes Global).
Along with these entertaining books and upcoming DVD, Lynn has created The Tribute Network, which is a social media website where you can post videos and tributes to honor people and pets you love. After posting a tribute video for my highschool friend who recently passed away suddenly at a young age, it was heartwarming to see that over 500 friends watched my tribute from around the world. This video helped me share life celebrations for my friend when I could not be there to speak at the funeral. Thank you Lynn Isenberg for inspiring me to film this tribute with laughs of the good times together that are so important to remember. I highly recommend The Funeral Planner books, DVD and The Tribute Network!
It had too much business jargon for me to follow. I couldn't quite get into any of the characters either.
This little gem is an idea whose time has come. A funny and enlivening little gem that captivates all matters of the heart. If you want to celebrate life in the grandest way possible, consider this book a must read!
Could this be the worst novel I've ever read? Let me think. The characters came straight from Central Casting. The prose is at best clunky. Forget any sensitive handling of the subject matter or any emotional at all from the characters. I find it unbelievable how much this novel reads like Jessica Mitford and other writers on the subject, only bent and warped into bad fictional prose. And Maddy Banks. What planet did she come from? Apparently she has no sense of how to present herself, no sense of coordination, no sense of anything meaning more than money or business. The central premise--the evolution of American funerals from impersonal to celebrations of life--is terrific. Now why was it presented in such a horrible way? If I wanted to read rote facts, I'd go do so. Where's the meaning? Skip this one. It may drive you to be a danger to yourself and others. Yes, that bad.
