I AM a history student, working on a project about the funeral trade and related business.
I would be grateful if readers could supply any information to help me. I am particularly interested in mourning stories, grave diggers, florists, stone masons, funeral directors and ordinary people's stories.
I am looking at the period of 1870 to 1950.
