From Mourning Veils to Modern Memorials: Changing Burial Customs

Join Funeral Service Educator Program Director at Northampton Community College, Tony Moore, for a fascinating look at how our relationship with death and remembrance has evolved.

From the elaborate rituals and strict etiquette of the Victorian era to today’s diverse and personalized practices, this talk explores what burial customs reveal about culture, community, and the ways we honor those we’ve lost.

Equal parts history and reflection, it’s a conversation that sheds light on traditions we all share but rarely discuss.
