Grave Traditions

Although The Valley Holler is a resource blog, I include links to a variety of historical death-related sources.

My grandmother made a hobby out of decorating graves of her family, former neighbors, and friends for the holidays. It used to be this was a national past-time. This Link takes you to my remembrances of accompanying my grandmother as she cheerfully put flowers on a couple of dozen graves. My grandmother has since died herself, but her dedication to the memory of those who have gone before lives on.
