    Death and Mourning in the Victoria Era

    What do parlor funerals, post-mortem death photographs, Victorian hair wreaths, public mourning and seances have in common?  They are all rituals of death that became popular between 1876 and 1915. Join retired funeral director Steve Person for a fascinating journey into death and mourning practices in the Victorian Era complete with lots of stories and props.
