The Mourning Museum in Old City Cemetery

One room of the Cemetery Center is a small museum of 19th- and 20th-century American mourning customs. Permanent exhibits interpret mourning attire, hairwork jewelry, the evolution of coffins and embalming, and funeral and mourning etiquette. The Mourning Museum is open for drop-in visits whenever the Cemetery Center is open. Tours of the Mourning Museum are free of charge.
