weekend event....business of death...
i first learned of this place and a similar business while reading one of my many books about Queen Victoria, one dealing with her lifelong love of mourning....there was quite an industry for mourning in the mid-1800s for about 30 years...specific rules on colors to be worn--even in regards to jewelry, mourning decorations for home, carriages, and mourning for all economic classes....fascinating actually....well, i found it fascinating.....
