Undertaker Ghost Signs Around the World
From the smallest towns in America to remote settlements in
Australia, ghost signs remind us of the undertakers of the past who once built
coffins and provided a place for the preparation for burials of their citizens.
First up is this colourful old sign in Clyde, New Zealand.
In this unique double ghost sign in Illinois, you can just
make out the original undertaker sign beneath the funeral home sign.
It’s not exactly a ghost sign, instead it represents
evidence of undertaking in Gulong, Australia.
The foreboding hand in Eureka Springs, Arizona.
A woman in Carson City, Nevada found this sign in her attic.
There is something melancholic about the poise of these
beautiful carriages against the tatty façade of this funeral parlour in
Chattanooga, Tennessee.

for both your wedding and your funeral.
Included for its beauty, this Art Deco influenced building enhanced by shiny black tiles
is the Hunold Bestattungen Funeral Home in Berlin.
