Description

A concise introduction to the life and work of the Victorian undertaker.

The Victorians were relatively at ease with death. Undertaking, which took care of all the practicalities surrounding a death, rose to prominence as a profession during the nineteenth century.

This pocket guide is ideal for social historians, those interested in historical costume and even transport enthusiasts, with a section on the development of the horse-drawn hearse.
