Mourning Imagery

Unlike the macabre iconographies explored earlier in the exhibit, funeral and mourning rituals and images ring more somber and muted. Funerals and mourning, once primarily a home affair, began to reflect larger trends toward mass marketing and mass production by the end of the 19th and start of the 20th centuries. Here we explore similar iconography to the gravestones featured in flyers from Allen-Hall Funeral Home in Logan.
