Book of the Moment

Gone to the Grave

A gathered set of memories from those who grew up in the Ozarks, away from the cities and a good distances from hospitals and funeral home. This is a recollection of the last days of home funerals when it was still the norm rather than the exception. There is a community structure seen here that, excepting the resurgence of home funerals and some pockets left in the US, is rarely seen today.
