Old Time Funeral Fashion Recalled from 1948 Time
A reminiscence describes black mourning customs for six months and half mourning thereafter, with women in black or gray and men in black. Hearses topped by sable plumes moved slowly on two-hour journeys. Undertakers wore bell toppers with crepe, and observers recall ghoulish vanity and a grim humor among body watchers.
