Regards, Jon Austin, Executive Director Museum of Funeral Customs -----Original Message----- From: David Lynx [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 4:43 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Victorian Funeral customs To prepare for an exhibit we are having on Victorian Funeral customs, I am beginning to gather written resources and other information on artifacts related to mourning. I am particularly interested in trivia; the origin of horse feathers, the pall, etc. I have book like "A Victorian Celebration of Death" and "American Material Culture" - I am interested in other sources that anyone else who has completed an exhibit on this can recommend. Thank you!
