Thirty-two-year-old Richard Franchitti didn’t believe in love at first sight until he met free-spirited Catherine and started a brand new life. A devoted father and husband, Richard fought to keep his family together when it would have been easier to walk away.
Tragedy left him with unfinished business.
Now a disembodied spirit, Richard relives his most important days. From the beginnings of unconditional love, to the joy of his daughter’s birth, and all of the difficult times in between, each treasured moment brings him closer to answering the question:
“Why am I still here?”
He was born Richard Franchitti, but his friends call him Ricky. Welcome to his funeral.
Review by Gia:
I received a copy of Funeral with a View for a review. I am so glad that I received a copy because on the surface Funeral with a View is not a book I would have picked up to read on my own. I really enjoyed reading it. It's a great read that explores an interesting topic.
I have never read a book where the main character has passed away but is still hovering around. I kind of expected at some point to find out that Richard wasn't really dead but instead in a coma or something That doesn't happen, and even though death is sad I was glad to read the Rcihard was not alive because him being gone made the story a more powerful read. It's an emotional read and at some points I was a little teary eyed.
We get bit and pieces of Richard's life with his wife, friend, and his daughter through flash backs. I loved reading those parts because it really brought the characters out. All the characters are well written and I felt like I was along with them on their journey.
A Funeral with a View is a amazing read. This one is a definite one click.

About the Author:
Matt Schiariti is an Engineer by profession, guitar legend in his own mind, and would-be author, time permitting. When he’s not writing, he’s reading. When he’s not reading, he’s enjoying a beer sporting a fancy name on the label. When he’s not enjoying a fancy-named beer, he’s most likely reading some more. Sometimes he does all three at once, to disastrous effect.
Matt lives in southern New Jersey with his wife, two children, and insane dog. Funeral with a View is his second published novel, but not his last.
You have been warned.
