biscuits placed on the table dining room table, a casket in the
formal parlor. Artifacts, garments, photographs, jewelry, and an
array of other items related to Victorian era mourning etiquette,
rituals, and customs will also be displayed throughout the house.

funeral and customary mourning practices of his time. Daily tours
begin upon arrival, however, large group daily tours do require
