Death Comes for Us All
Friday, November 13, 6 p.m.
Victorians had a different attitude about death than we do in the 21st century.  People died at home surrounded by loved ones, families had picnics in cemeteries on Sundays, took photos with the deceased made jewelry from their hair. In this eerie Friday the 13th program, historian Kathy Wilson explores the Victorians’ fascination with death and the culture they developed to memorialize the dead.
