Hello All,

 

In case you might be wondering, I’m disappointed to report that we’ve had no strange occurrences here at the Museum of Funeral Customs despite the fact that we have two previously occupied caskets in the collection (currently on exhibit) and more funeral home equipment, chemicals, and scary instruments than you can possibly imagine.  After six months of resting calmly, one of the aforementioned caskets did mysteriously roll off its platform several years ago, but the “restless spirit” hasn’t been detected since.  We chalked up the incident to a visitor who got a bit too curious and had to “touch and feel” a used casket.

 

Happy Halloween!

 

Jon Austin, Executive Director

Museum of Funeral Customs

Death is only the beginning

Ok, it's Halloween.  We've had fun in the past with stories of ghosts and such, but it's been a while.  All you hobgoblins out there, dish!  What is the best Halloween story about your museum?  Hauntings, strange happenings, apparitions, disappearances, tricks on coworkers . . . tell them all!
