Funeral and Mourning Traditions of the Old South

by Mitchel Whitington

Mourning in the Old South...

According to William Faulkner, "People took funerals seriously in those days. Not death; death was our constant familiar."

Welcome to the world of Covered Mirrors, Sin Eaters, Grave Dolls, Resurrection Men and Coffin Torpedoes. Life in the Old South was celebrated, but when loved ones passed they were honored in ways that may seem very peculiar in the light of today's world.
