I don't collect post mortem but have been exposed to them because the practice was the norm in<br />Victorian culture...I ran across your blog while<br />googling that subject. Your writing is captivating and after reading all your posts on the first page I went back and read your bio to discover you are a writer!!!! Growing up in a small town where the funeral home was in a home I can well imagine your childhood. Thanks for the most interesting reads.Cynthia and Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07215853299805688390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651966380862866650.post-91456717841314226532011-09-14T03:04:59.808-07:002011-09-14T03:04:59.808-07:00Hi Savvy,

Only recently I seem to recall a story about a man lying in an icy morgue suddenly sitting up and popping his eyes open. Which of course adds to our fascination with these legends. And to our fervent hope that our families and doctors will take plenty of time before finally pronouncing us totally Deadsville.savvysavingbyteshttp://savvysavingbytes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651966380862866650.post-35816219555674833702011-09-13T03:05:57.330-07:002011-09-13T03:05:57.330-07:00Hi Susan,

Things I know about now that I didn't when growing up with him. <br /><br />I've seen some beautiful mourning jewellery on others' blogs. They do a great job, so I'm not certain I could offer anything better. But hang on, you've just given me an idea! THANK YOU....off to think about it. Thank you for reading.KATE MAYFIELDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188611212969681379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651966380862866650.post-89339656566407307642011-09-12T18:13:38.131-07:002011-09-12T18:13:38.131-07:00At first I thought the security coffins were a bit...At first I thought the security coffins were a bit over the top, then I read Rufina and Margorie's stories!<br /><br />The parson's method of sniffing the tubes is not what you'd want to depend on.<br /><br />Your posts are fascinating! I wonder what thoughts ran through you father's mind when you asked him about this possibility.<br /><br />Have you ever thought of doing one on Victorian mourning jewelry?Susan Tinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900811284963063686noreply@blogger.com
