Ashton Villa in Galveston, Texas did a Victorian funeral exhibit a little while ago. I believe Jami Durham curated the exhibit.

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!
David
