Well, the Civil War itself had over 700,000 soldiers die. This left 700, 000 families..Mothers, Fathers, sisters, Brothers, and YES, even children in the state of mourning in the USA at the same time. Plus, no antibiotics, poor if any health care, and a childhood and infancy death toll above %50 dead before 3 yrs old. Children were taught about Death from the cradle as they would have been intimately acquainted with the death of a loved one and a funeral.
I grew up in a Victorian house. It wasn't until later that we found out we had a funeral parlor in the house. The room had a stained glass window and had a door to enter the room and a door to exit onto the porch that wrapped around the front and side of the house. We used that room as my mother's bedroom. It really was a beautiful house.
Several old farmhouses in the community I grew up in, had homes with two doors; one to enter and one to exit on the same porch. My grandparent's home was like that.
@@judyclark5736my grandmother’s house still had that when she and my uncle bought it in the 1950’s. They were right next to each other exiting to the front porch. We thought it was very strange and never knew the reason for it. My uncle ended up removing one of them. I wonder if they thought it was bad luck to enter and exit the same door?
Every house in Ireland was a funeral parlour 😂😂😂. Up until fairly recently to reduce stress on the family people now use actual funeral parlours, it means the family in mourning don't have to hire a cleaner to guest prepare the house or worse still have to do it themselves. Unless it's a child or a very loved parent it is now not done here as much. It is hard on the floors if the person was popular, my aunt lay out her husband in a back room upstairs, he was a pillar in the community, I'm willing to bet her wooden staircase will never be repaired, the grooves from traffic were unreal.
My grandfather was a mortician. I have his text book from mortician school circa 1898. He also was the coroner for their county in West Texas. My dad used to tell a story about getting ready for prom and having issues tying his tie. My grandfather having extensive expertise in dressing gentlemen for burial, made my dad lay down on the sofa so he could tie my dads tie properly! I also have a beautiful memorial book with signatures of those in attendance. Quite something! This was an interesting episode. Thanks to all for all the information!
Very nice tour and museum. I’m 70, retired funeral director. It’s interesting to see the old customs and furnishings. I’d mentioned yesterday, my father bought an old funeral establishment in the early 1950’s. The building has in storage, cases of those old furnishings and black drapes, buntings, big black ribbons for the doors. Thanks to those reenactment characters, thanks Ron Doug
We lost my brother in law in 2007. He loved his rail buggy. On a Sunday afternoon after having a great time riding, he was in a hurry to get things loaded up and picking his wife up from work. Something went horribly wrong, and him and his friend drove over a 300 hundred foot cliff and landed upside side down, and the buggy sunk about 2 feet into the ground. That afternoon his mother and father and sister herd the back door open and then listen to someone walking upstairs and head the frist door that you would come to close. Eric came back home.
What interesting history! I have seen where Victorians would have photos taken with their deceased loved ones. Some were posed as if they were alive. Death is such a mystery. The hospice person who took care of my dad the day he was dying, opened the window in the room as if to give my dad's spirit a way out. Witnessing the death process is quite an experience. 😢
Yes it is, I was with my mother when she took her last breath. It was an experience to say the least, nothing in life prepares you for this. I’m a retired police officer and I have witnessed several people die but it’s different with your loved ones.
How interesting! The Victorian mourning traditions even influenced the Queen of Hawaii ( Liliokalani). She was invited to Queen Victoria's Jubilee in 1887. There, Victoria gave Liliokalani a Victorian Mourning Bracelet with Hawaiian and English designs. The Victorian mourning traditions, and mourning jewelry then went into style in Hawaii.😊🌺🌴
What a great session tonite!! Victorian is my favorite Era and I love learning about the different customs. Thanks, Ron, for taking us on this journey! ❤
Thank you Ron for taking us on this very interesting tour. Traditions sure have changed a lot over the years, and it seems as if there was more respect for the dead during the Victorian era.
Fascinating tour. Had no idea that such elaborate proceedings existed at least at the common person level. My Norwegian GG grandparents were dirt poor and homesteading in Dakota Territory in 1870. Comparing the home and contents to a sod house in Indian territory is about as opposite as you can get. So they were very practical, even burying their own kids by the house. Hard to imagine all the variations in people's lifestyles, kind of like today.
TOTALLY FASCINATING RON! Giving you another rave review! 🙌 👏 👏 Very interesting what they did in Victorian times of mourning ☹️ 😔 My Mother was not young when she had me. And she talked of her Grandfather dying when she was a young girl. He was not embalmed. A think there was ice 🧊 under whatever the casket... or coffin ⚰️ was sitting on. And she could clearly remember his hands being packed in ice so they didn't decay. And he had the coins 🪙 on his eyes 👀 to keep them shut. In other news. My Dad had an Aunt who enjoyed (?) going to funerals. She would check the obituaries and go to any funerals she could get to that weren't far away. Yup! Even if she didn't know them. That's what he said, anyway. 🤷♀️ Thanks 😊 again Ron. 🙏 💕
Excellent episode! Kathy is a fantastic orator and tour guide, knows her stuff. So many interesting points. Small town in Pennsylvania is where I experienced a home funeral and wake. Many unique traditions.
I grew up with antique furniture and knick knacks, a loom, an uncle who was an antique dealer living in a 3 story house full of antique furniture (mostly French), browsing in antique furniture stores and I still have antique furniture. I love it. And no cheap Chinese fake furniture either. Thanks for the tour of this place and all the funeral procedures. Extremely interesting. I will look at the link of Kari the mortician. Have a great day! 🙂
Hi Ron, I live in Pawtucket. I used to drive by this house every day, and I worked right up the street at the YMCA. I used to see Mr. Mobrey, when he came to play tennis. He had an antique car collection, a lot of which were used in the movie The Great Gatsby. I really think more should have been said about him. He was a very kind and interesting man. Maybe 50 years from now, they will tell about him and his wife.
This was SO interesting! I was born in’57 and I can remember some of these traditions that were still prevalent in the 50s and 60s as I had family members who died during that time. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I have seen Postmortem pictures before; never again will I see them before I go to sleep. I have a crazy imagination and my dreams feel real to me. It's one reason I don't watch anything scary before I go to bed anymore.
In my younger days, I was a mortician. And, the style that was considered proper in those days seems so much more regal than now. Death was a time to gather and be respectful of the deceased. Families used to attend picnic and social events at cemetaries to celebrate the life of a past loved one. Not so much anymore. Thank you for bring this to us.
Great video. I knew 3 of my g grandparents who were born in 1870. When my last one died, her funeral was on my 17th birthday, 59 years ago today. I still have many of the calling cards from that era. I feel like I lived in the Victorian age. Many of my family members lived into their 80s and 90s.
Wow! Thank you Ron for this incredible video. Not only the information on victorian funerals, but also the beautiful home. I absolutely love history and would love to see more tours like this. Thank you again for your great work.
Thank you Ron for sharing this video with us. I really loved it. I enjoy seeing how people were back in those days and I also love the old items. ❤ I was raised in the house my father was born in and his sisters and his brother. The house was built by my grandfather my father’s father. It was over 100 years old.
Thank you to the 'Hearthside House Museum' President Kathy Hartley and the museum's staff members ❤ ❤ ❤. We absolutely enjoyed this 'guided tour'of this historic place. And thank you always to @ FOTF Ron and the gang, too, for sharing ❤ 😊.
Excellent video Ron, thank you so much for showing this! I have originals of my Great Grandmothers mourning cards that are identical, what an education on funerals back then, really enjoyed it!!!🙏🌹
Thankyou Ron so interesting I remember here in England in the 1960s my Mum wore black for a year after my grandmonther died also we had our curtains half closed and my dad wore a black arm band. My mum was from Germany and her sister and family in Germany did the same. As a child i remember thinking how nice she looked as the fashion was a lot different than victorian times not so gloomy. Also i remember her recieving the white envelope with the black surround in the post with the detailes of my Omi's funeral i think i still have it. Kindest Regards from the UK.{Really enjoy your channel}
Wow, Ron!! This was SOOOOOO INTERESTING!! Thank you for taking us here!! Kathy is a VERY knowledgeable guide!! I've NEVER heard of funeral biscuits before!! BRILLIANT episode, Ron!! XXXX 💖👍❤🤗💞
Wow I LOVED it my knees can’t do stairs so this only way I could see this fantastic interesting love it you looked very handsome in your black shirt by the way🫶🏻pretty good for 85! Ha ha ha
What a beautiful home. Thank you so much for this wonderful tour of Victorian mourning, you always have so many interesting videos of history Ron. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤
What a fantastic video and so interesting! I think some of these traditions my family followed years ago. Of course, when my grandmother lost her two young sons, she put a black wreath on her door with long streamers coming down from it. I also remember when several of my relatives passed away, they had big sprays of flowers and in the center of at least one of them was a clock with the hands stopped at the time of their deaths. I remember this particularly at my grandmothers and cousins' wakes. I remember that when I first saw that clock like that at my grandmothers wake it gave me a bit of a creepy feeling for some reason. My mom also told me how they had the black bunting on the windows when each of her brothers died. I also remember my mom telling me that how when a close relative died, they couldn't do anything for a year. She was a kid and wouldn't even be allowed to go out and play. Mouring was very hard on kids for sure. There are so many traditions that in a way I wish would come back. The dead were so much more honored in those days then they are today. Now a days wakes seem more like family reunions rather than a reason to grieve for the deceased. Those superstitions were crazy, weren't they?! Wow!
Yeh so true about family reunions at funerals , relatives you’ve not seen for years and yet they can travel for miles for your funeral but can’t visit when your alive 🙁my funerals going to be invitation only lol 🎉
Plan on opening a natural burial “cemetery”. Due to living in a city where the majority make fifty grand or less. More affordable options are needed. Plus, better for the environment. It’s a win-win for the community
Super interesting. I never knew there was such a thing as funerary cookies. So many rules for mourning kind of takes the ability to grieve away from you. It has to be done just so or be shunned.
Excellent One of the most interesting stories I've ever heard The story of the dog howling i hadn't heard of but was a fox was a sign of The head of a household passing Beautiful house and such a special history
Thanks again Ron for a great tour. Imagine not knowing a spirit passing through. Have a great week and thanks again for keeping the remembrance of another person alive. ❤
Speaking about the frequency of death, I'm an orphan for the very reason that all of my family and close relatives all died, many violently, when I was a small child.
John scared the goosebumps out of me😮. He was standing there so still just waiting. Right after they were describing the shadow of the man staring into the window 😱
Wow! Wish I had those “mourning funeral toys” when I was younger… I went once to a reenactment of a Victorian funeral in MI and it was a lot like this. Thank Ron.
Nobody puts on a mourning like folks in the Victorian era. I live in New Orleans and grew up in the bayou and it's common for people to have wakes and funerals at home. Especially among the older folks. What an absolutely fabulous dollhouse ✨️ Awesome video 👻
Fascinating and beautiful video...I loved every part of this Ron...what a privilege it must have been for you to speak there. Just so proud to be a member of your group...FACES OF THE FORGOTTEN . .so proud because you put your whole heart into everything you can ❤!!! Thank you for the tour and take the Hearthside House and hearing all about its amazing history. She was delightful 😊
This place is so cool❤️I want to go❤️ Thanks Kathy Christine John Kirk Steven and Ron❤️ And our Ron❤️ I knew about wearing black for a year but not underwear and nightgown crazy🤪
Hi Ron, I love your channel and the cemeteries you go to with all the interesting stories, but this tour was fantastic. I love the Victorian era, their way of life & their traditions and customs, the beautiful homes and the furnishings & just to see the craftsmanship in the woodwork! People of that trade really took pride in their work. would love to visit this house. Thank you so very much for taking us on this tour. I hope you will do more in the future. May God watch over you and keep you safe🙏🏻❤️
I always wondered where, when or why the idea of don't talk bad about the dead got started. On barking dogs, my dad told me that when Gary Cooper died, all the neighborhood dogs stopped barking/howling. He said that was printed in their newspaper. Even as a kid I thought that's a strange detail to put in a newspaper story.
Love loved the video. I love history of any kind. So very intriguing the Victorian Era. They have a beautiful Musium. Thanks Ron for sharing, you do not disappoint.....❤😊
Kathy Harley is a very good tour guide, and I enjoyed seeing the exhibits and learning history about the house and families. Those earthbound spirits that remain in the house are either there because that's where they want to be or are trapped and unable to move on. For those who are trapped, someone needs to speak out aloud to them and tell them that they no longer need to remain there and are free to go to the light.
25:40 As nurses, we always opened a window after a patient died, to make sure their spirit wasn’t trapped in the room. I never knew where it originated.

It's beautiful .. this Victorian home. It was really bizaar in how children.. would play "Mourning" with their dollhouse.

@pegs1659 I never experienced anything, but some of my siblings did.

It probably kept foot traffic moving.

So beautifully decorated. Love the Victorian style ❤
I could literally spend days exploring this house!
Thanks for sharing ron
My grandmother would always open the back and front doors to a house if someone died at home .She said so their spirit could leave.
Excellent episode! Kathy is a fantastic orator and tour guide, knows her stuff. So many interesting points. Small town in Pennsylvania is where I experienced a home funeral and wake. Many unique traditions.
This is my favorite of the sessions so far, especially the teaching of the young girls by "playing mourning" with their dolls.

Fantastic, thanks for the tour Ron 👍
Good evening all!
What a fantastic video and so interesting! I think some of these traditions my family followed years ago. Of course, when my grandmother lost her two young sons, she put a black wreath on her door with long streamers coming down from it.

That guide was very gracious and patient. 👍👍👍
Kathy is amazing!! the knowledge, unreal!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten yes, she really knew her stuff, and had oodles of info. I could listen to her spin yarn all day!
Plan on opening a natural burial “cemetery”. Due to living in a city where the majority make fifty grand or less. More affordable options are needed. Plus, better for the environment. It’s a win-win for the community
Super interesting. I never knew there was such a thing as funerary cookies. So many rules for mourning kind of takes the ability to grieve away from you. It has to be done just so or be shunned.
Excellent One of the most interesting stories I've ever heard The story of the dog howling i hadn't heard of but was a fox was a sign of The head of a household passing Beautiful house and such a special history
That was very cool!
Loved this, so fascinating. Wished it was longer. Ill definitely have to watch it again. I love the variety on ur channel. Thanks Ron!
Can’t wait! I’ve been rewatching past favs all day!
I really look forward to this.excellent ron.
I just love this…thank you for doing different things on your channel
Most of the ladies could sew back then so they probably made their own mourning dresses, they were probably of a much simpler style. 😊
Though I'm a student of the Edwardian Era I find the Victorian Era interesting too. Well done again, Ron.
That was most fascinating Ron. Thank you for taking us on this amazing find.
I live only a couple of towns south of this! I'm so excited to visit!
I love this type of video, thanks Ron!!!!❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
It's so fantastic that it's all so well preserved! Oh and those boots! 😮
Thanks again Ron for a great tour. Imagine not knowing a spirit passing through. Have a great week and thanks again for keeping the remembrance of another person alive. ❤

I always wondered where, when or why the idea of don't talk bad about the dead got started.
On barking dogs, my dad told me that when Gary Cooper died, all the neighborhood dogs stopped barking/howling. He said that was printed in their newspaper. Even as a kid I thought that's a strange detail to put in a newspaper story.
Love loved the video. I love history of any kind. So very intriguing the Victorian Era. They have a beautiful Musium. Thanks Ron for sharing, you do not disappoint.....❤😊
Kathy Harley is a very good tour guide, and I enjoyed seeing the exhibits and learning history about the house and families. Those earthbound spirits that remain in the house are either there because that's where they want to be or are trapped and unable to move on. For those who are trapped, someone needs to speak out aloud to them and tell them that they no longer need to remain there and are free to go to the light.
Absolutely fascinating, Ron!!!💜💜
Love victorian style houses. Thanks for sharing ❤️

25:40 As nurses, we always opened a window after a patient died, to make sure their spirit wasn’t trapped in the room. I never knew where it originated.
