There was once a Museum of Funeral Customs in Oak Ridge Cemetery near Abe Lincoln's tomb in Springfield, Illinois. We visited there in 2007, but it closed in 2011. It had quite an impressive collection. Wikipedia says its holdings were transferred to the Kibbe Hancock Heritage Museum in Carthage, Illinois.

I’ve written four obituaries for family members. The fact they have a helpful checklist is brilliant.

I've done one eulogy of our younger daughter. When my mot her-in-law died my brother-in-law wrote an obituary and was floored by the price to have it published. I plan to alert both of the people who would care via pre-written email.
