A meeting between the press and several of those involved with the Lincoln funeral re-creation was held Friday afternoon at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln.

One of the most important features of the upcoming event will be the transformation of this modern funeral home into an 1860s-era funeral parlor. Several adjoining areas will be filled with Lincoln and Lincoln-era memorabilia. This event will be open to the public next Saturday starting at 10 a.m.   Click here for more pictures.
