- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Throughout American history where funerals were held at home and professional medical care was often inaccessible, we have believed that people in the past were “closer to death” than we are today. But in what ways is this true? This program explores the history of the American funeral and why sensational myths can sometimes get in the way of understanding how people actually approached funerals, how families grieved, and where people were buried.
