Beyond the Veil: A Presentation on Victorian Mourning, Funeral and Burial Practices
Step back in time with local historian, Anna Thomas, to the Victorian Era (1820-1914). In this presentation, you will learn about the shift in attitudes toward death and mourning. Anna will cover topics such as post-mortem death photography, the rural cemetery movement and tombstone symbolism. She will also explain the role of Victorian clothing...and, if there's time, she'll talk about grave robbers.
