Imagine you are dying with a secret. Something you've never had the courage to tell your friends and family. Or a last wish - a task you need carried out before you can rest in peace. Now imagine there's a man who can take care of all that, who has no respect for the living, who will do anything for the dead.

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.

What a good fucking book! First of all, I recommend listening to it, as Bill Edgar voices it himself - the Australian accent is 10/10. Additionally, the man who has dyslexia and has thought himself to read and write and then wrote his own book AND THEN he also reads it... literal testament to where there's a will there's a way.

This guy is so real, he tells you he doesn't give a shit and you know he doesn't, chef's kiss. Reminds me of my dad in many instances.

Moreover, I think he is the only person who swears more than I do. 💅😂

The book has made me cry, it made me laugh and it reaffirmed my belief that you should make the best of the life you were given.

Very importantly, he paints a beautiful picture of how being an atheist and having a moral compass are not mutually exclusive things.

Also, his character growth - enviable!

Another thing I've noticed is how profoundly he understands women's suffering and terrible position in society. As he speaks of his own abuse, he goes on to say how women have it worse. Just goes to show real men don't make excuses for shitty men, for rapists, for pedophiles and for other scum.

I wish literally everyone on this planet would listen to this book. Well done Bill!

What a good fucking book
