    Very interesting. Thank You for sharing. This reminds me of my grandmother’s funeral. The funeral home offered caskets and coffins. They had 2 horse drawn restored carriages. You could use either one to take your final ride. They let us pet and feed the horses. Added a little fun to a somber gathering.

    Very well done video, another practice at funeral’s in the 1950’s was to take photographs of the deceased in open casket’s why 🤷‍♂️, but I have one of my grandfather from 1955 I was 4 at the time, it is actually a small 3x5 black and white booklet with 9 or 10 photographs of him and the funeral was held in the front room of the residence which he and my grandmother lived

      My Brother and his Wife made it a mission to take photos of both my Dad and my Mom when they died. My Dad had lost so much weight and was so frail I knew he wouldn't want to be seen like that, so I asked for a closed casket and placed photos of him in various stages of his life on a foam board and easel behind the casket. My Brother asked the funeral home to open the casket so he could see him, and he was taking pictures when I walked in. Same kind of thing with my Mom, and I know for sure she wouldn't have wanted that done. So because of my Brothers actions of what consider total disrespect, I have made sure that he is not allowed to attend my funeral if I pass before him. I have told people close to me that if anyone takes photos of me when I die, I will haunt them, their kids and their grandkids... I'm very serious in this.

      @@WhispersFromTheDark I understand your stance on this and agree that family and friends should and hope they abide by your wishes, but in the 1950’s that was excepted as normal and was place with family archives for future generations to have a true line to the family that came before them.

    Loved this historic look at funerals. I mentioned to someone the other day that it seems like we as a society don’t hardly have funerals anymore. We have memorial services, graveside services, celebration of Life services etc.
    I think we miss something by not being able to say goodbye to a loved one through the tradition of a funeral. idk, maybe I’m wrong?

    • @elizabethcompton738
      @elizabethcompton738 2 роки тому

      You're wrong. I was traumatized by my brother's murder and funeral and traumatized again when my Mom died a few years later. Funerals are nothing more than a thing for people to attend to try to assuage their guilt for not being there for the person while they were alive.

      A lot of the no funerals today is that they cost so much more then they did back in the day. Where back then a funeral. Probably cost between 50 and a 100 dollars by today's standards where it cost thousands of dollars.

    You can tell the "Monarchs" and the Presidents "Funeral", they're rather obvious. I don't think there's ANYTHING SADDER than a "Riderless Horse"!!!! Makes me want to cry EVERY TIME I SEE THAT!!!! And I was only 4 when President Kennedy's Funeral occurred, but when I look at the photos, it was like it happened yesterday. One of the SADDEST DAYS in this nations History!!!!

    Very interesting. I do believe some cultures still do things I would assume, "traditionally" like cremating their loved ones remains outside, in front of everyone. I don't know the reason, but not something I would like to attend, but each to their own. Thanks for sharing this

    I have no intention of having a funeral. They're expensive, and serve no purpose that's going to do me any good, and I refuse to put my son through that. Plus I don't want a bunch of people coming to stare at my dead body when they don't even bother to pick up a telephone now.

    Funerals are the same now as they were 200 years ago, there's a deceased person in a box, and much ado about the deceased whether hated or loved. There's more cremation these days, whereupon the deceased's ashes are thrown into a body of water, or cast into the wind, or placed in an urn and placed on the mantel, (or in a closet) until a cat jumps upon it and spreads it all over the floor to be swiftly swept away. THE END. 💀

    I've been to many funerals as a child growing up with parents of 13 siblings and many family members. I don't plan to attend anymore, because I feel people show up just to show off and I'm not all about that.
    I, myself don't want a funeral for folks to show up that didn't even care for me, just to say they showed up to honor me. BS
