Event: Lincoln Funeral Display

Over Presidents' Day weekend, members of the 4th US attended a display of 19th century funerary customs, whereat we interacted with the public, and added a great deal to the ambiance. The focus of the event, held at Evergreen-Washelli Funeral Home (Seattle), was a reproduction of Abraham Lincoln's coffin.  On Monday afternoon, there was also an informative presentation on the Lincoln assassination, and the late president's elaborate funeral(s).
