“As obituaries editor of the Telegraph, I’m often asked if I find my job depressing. ‘Doesn’t it get you down?’ people say in hushed, sympathetic tones, as though we were huddled together in the plushly upholstered confines of a Mayfair undertakers. ‘I mean, dealing with that relentless tide of death…’ At which point I trot out a line well worn by those in my particular area of journalism: ‘Obituaries are not about death,’ I insist. ‘They are a celebration of life.’”
