Join us as we kick off our season of mourning by spending an evening with the spirits! The “princely mansion” comes alive when there is talk of the dead. Stroll the darkened halls and hear the tales of the first families while viewing our beautiful mourning collection displayed and staged throughout the mansion.
Carter Jackson, retired Funeral Director with Memphis Funeral Home, will demonstrate the proper Victorian embalming techniques and speak on the rising Undertaking profession during Victorian Era.
The presentation will begin promptly at 6pm in the Carriage House.
A “repast” style reception will be at your service, offering something for every soul.
