Join author Troy Taylor for a fascinating and sometimes chilling look at America’s history of death, dying, funeral customs and traditions, and more! Have you ever wondered how some of America’s most unusual funeral customs began? Interested in the tradition of postmortem photographs? Tried to understand the purpose of wearing black, stopping clocks at the moment of death, using flowers at funerals, and why we started embalming the bodies of the dead? Then you won’t want to miss this historic — and sometimes eerie — evening with Troy Taylor!
