I did a program as part of a Special Event that included an mini exhibit on death in a rural community around the turn of the century. There was a lot of discussion beforehand as to whether such a program was appropriate as part of a Special Event that was family oriented. The biggest concern was that parents would object to their young children viewing a body laid out in a coffin. Our response was to station an interpreter outside the historical house where the "body", a mannikin, was laid out to inform parents as to what would be seen inside. The fears proved to be unfounded. Most parents were thrilled with the exhibit and the program. We even received requests from school groups and scout groups to leave the exhibit up until they could visit. If you would like to discuss this further, I would be happy to do so. I can even mail you a copy of the program. Belinda Nickles
