David Hulings’ unique blend of storytelling and psychological insight introduces a profound new way to process grief, through the lens of human archetypes.

Funeral directors are often called upon to support families in their rawest, most vulnerable moments. But what if the service itself became more than just ritual, what if it became a gateway to healing, reflection, and even personal transformation?

In “The Archetypes Attend a Funeral,” veteran leadership coach and communicator David Hulings offers a powerful resource not only for families experiencing loss but for the funeral professionals who guide them. Through a fictional funeral service framed around eight deeply human archetypes, from the Orphan to the Sage, David invites readers to explore the universal patterns of grief, hope, identity, and emotional legacy.

This isn’t a guidebook. It’s a literary encounter with the voices we all carry inside us when we face the death of someone we love. And in that encounter, funeral professionals may find an entirely new way to shape services that are not just respectful, but transformative.

“The funeral is not the end of a life; it is the beginning of a new story for those who remain,” says David. “My hope is that this book becomes a tool for directors who want to go beyond logistics, who want to create space for meaning.”

With its fictional framing yet emotionally grounded narrative, The Archetypes Attend a Funeral offers directors a way to help families connect more fully to their own grief journeys, especially when words are hard to find. Whether it’s placed in family grief packets, featured in chapel libraries, or used as a conversation starter with clergy and counselors, the book opens the door to depth, reflection, and dignity.

The Archetypes Attend a Funeral is available now in paperback and digital formats on Amazon and other major retailers. Bulk order options are available for funeral homes and grief centers.

Funeral directors interested in enhancing the spiritual and emotional value of their services will find this book to be a quiet companion that speaks loudly.
