Texas-National Museum of Funeral History

    Easter Sunday we spent on the USS Lexington, in Corpus Christi. The day after we drove to Houston. One of the places we went was the National Museum of Funeral History. It was a super interesting place. There were tons of different vehicles that have been used over the years for funerals, a lot about presidential and military funerals, a very large exhibit about papal funerals (which was especially interesting since that was the day the pope died) and many other things as well. 

     This was an exhibit of Victorian hair art. There was another exhibit about death photography.

      This exhibit showed what old embalming rooms looked like.

     This was showing what a house typically looks like decorated for día de los muertos. It showed two rooms of a house, with the ofrenda as well as the outside of the house with decorations. 

     The entire museum was really cool and I am glad we went to it. Houston was a very long drive from San Antonio, but this was a good day.
