Of Undertakers and Consolation Beer. An entertaining journey through time exploring the funeral customs of our ancestors.
With the charming Black Widow, who seems to have stepped right out of the Victorian era, contemplating death becomes a joyful experience. With humor and lightheartedness, she chats about what awaits us all one day. She gives us a glimpse into a time when the end of life was a matter of course and families consciously said their goodbyes.
Let the Black Widow whisk you away to the 19th century. Learn more about the customs, traditions, and superstitions of our ancestors. How did our ancestors deal with the topics of dying, death, and mourning? What rituals existed? Do you know why you must never call a dying person by name, or what the dove has to do with death? Who or what are “Leichenbitter”? What are “Totenkronen”?
