NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO BRING YOUR FATHER HOME? When Bishop Thomas Mouling Sr. died in Maryland, his sons Lamar Mouling Sr. and Willie Mouling faced a painful and unexpected battle over where their father would be laid to rest. Their mission was simple: bring their father home to Tampa, Florida, to be buried beside their mother, Annie E. Mouling. But what should have been a time of mourning became an extraordinary struggle involving two families, funeral homes, hospital paperwork, attorneys, police inquiries, a courtroom, and a race against time. In Not Over My Dead Body, Lamar Mouling Sr. recounts the remarkable true story of two sons determined to honor their father’s wishes and protect their family’s legacy. At its heart, this is a story about family, faith, loyalty, love, conflict, and perseverance—and the lengths people will go to stand up for someone they love, even after that person is gone.
