Troy Taylor: An Evening With The Dead

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 author Troy Taylor!
