Jaw dropping Customs Of Mourning The Dead from The Victorian Era

If you enjoyed the video please like and comment so that it can reach more people.

Interesting, but the photos and the commentary are shown and 'spoken' too quickly, a lot of random photos which have nothing to do with the subject and some facts (and pronunciations) are a bit dubious....

Yo pienso que si vas vestido de luto al funeral de un familiar y al día siguiente te vistes de color , es una falta de respeto, en mi país España, tenemos la costumbre de vestir de negro como mínimo hasta el primer aniversario, pero esa costumbre no solo es en España, en Portugal, en Italia, en Grecia y en los países del mediterráneo y países bálticos también tienen esa misma costumbre

How depressing

You're going through the photos too fast to see them properly it's making me dizzy 😵.

So Sorry for your loss .we learned that the Bible gives hopes of the Resurrection its a Promise from GOD from our Ransom Jesus Christ! He will be back! Revelation 21:3,4 .Have Faith and Trust!

I know when i was 12 my mother gave me my grandparents ashes mixed with the flowers that were at the wake. They put them in earrings, necklace, rosary, anything really. Pretty cool. But what i know now about the afterlife and paranormal it would seem like a serious attachment waiting to happen.

Now i understand the flower malarkey

The many mispronunciations and wrong emphases makes the narration sound robotic. What a shame, as this is a fascinating study.

I like the content however you read too fast and mispronounce so many words it’s distracting

Omg , so much to do and so many rules
Good times change
I love those dresses but wow so hard .

You show intriguing photos but you go WAY too fast and you speak way too fast. PLEASE slow down.

They used to prop their dead up with wooden racks and wire, all kinds of crazy contraptions. One fellow I saw in a picture had the corners of his mouth sewed into a “smile”, toothpicks holding his eyes open, and his arm raised (you could see a wooden rack behind him) to wave.

English Victorians were 'orrible.

The funeral industry in the U.S. is an utter scam. When my brother-in-law died, although he was being cremated there was a fee of several thousand dollars to rent a casket for him to be displayed in at his funeral. When my father, who was poor at the time of his death, passed away and we could only afford a simple funeral, his body was displayed in the office, slash casket sample room where there were cutaway samples of coffins hung everywhere on the walls. We were not informed prior to his service that this would be the case. He was displayed in a large cardboard box and there was a white, filmy spiderweb-like substance around his mouth and nose. It was thoroughly shocking and distressing to see how he was treated and also how our family was treated. When I confronted the funeral director afterwards he was dismissive and said that because my father had not been embalmed and due to health department regulations he could not be displayed in their regular building. Even if that were the case they could do better than an office full of samples of coffins that the families of the deceased could not afford and a cardboard box. And they might have made sure his face was free of debris. The complete lack of dignity my father was treated with in death still upsets me today. Then when I called the cemetery wanting to know when his ashes would be interred so that I could be there they told me they did not have a precise schedule and that I needed to pay a fifty dollar fee to find out. I told them I would wait all day if they would just tell me on what day he would be buried and I was told it was too difficult to say. When I asked how a fifty dollar fee related to their ability to give me simple information he had no answer-they knew exactly when my father’s ashes were going in the ground and the attempt to swindle money from me to get a simple piece of information was disgusting and my father would have thought so too. So I did not get to be there to see him that last bit of the way, although we did follow his body to the crematory. When I die I want as little of the money I leave behind as possible to go to the funeral industry. Funeral homes are depressing and they exploit the grief of family members to extract maximum dollars. Even if they provide a comforting service you will pay dearly for it and they didn’t know your loved one, nor do they really care about your family. No one looks forward to a funeral and I don’t want to put my loved ones through all that. I want them to cremate me, have a nice meal, share some memories and sprinkle me in a place that will be comforting to them to visit, not a creepy, wasteful cemetery.

Walk into the parlor holding a large mirror and start doing an Irish jig.

The home viewing of the deceased was still practiced during my own childhood (born 1944) and that old practice is still sometimes done even today. The last one I attended was in the 1990s in the state of Georgia. The home "wake! is far more natural and comfortable for the living to come say goodby and comfort the family than is the sterile, stiff, cold atmosphere in most funeral homes.

Jesus died, rose again and went to prepare for those who worshipped Him and lived a pure and Holy live. Those who repented and gave their heart to Him. This is a temporary journey. We will all bow before Him on judgement day. Read the Holy Bible and pray to Him to get understanding. God bless you.

Why so FAST

Crazy....
Glad I wasn't born during that era.

What was with the headless lady picture?

You say "wearing black for years" Like it is not something I already do. 😏

The first permanent photograph was not in the mid 1800s as stated, but in the 1820s in France. It was an 8 hour exposure of a courtyard and you can see the photo at the Ransom Center in Austin, TX. My father was one of thirteen children alphabeticalized A to M. The child, for the letter B, only lived to be 2 or 3, and there was a photo of her, taken probably in the 1910s, that has her in her casket. I was visiting the family historian and saw the photo in one of the albums.

Let the dead bury the dead 😵

A photo was very expensive so most families did not have them. If someone died this was taken to remember them. It is not a strange thing to do.

its ruined by the way you mangle language

Many are still practiced today except taking a photo with the deceased as if still alive and tear vials, Wearing black are still practiced especially in traditional countries but for a shorter period.

Чистой воды, никрафилия!

In Northern Ireland, all mirrors were covered. Clocks were stopped at the hour of the deceased's death, the photographs were all covered and the coffin was a celebration to have in the home, as a final respectful resting place for your loved one......

Tear vials are kinda nice, in an odd way

The photo of the family of 5 boys,with mom's head missing 😮

That sounds like a lot of rules. I wonder who decided "nah we don't need to do that anymore" was.

Queen victoria mourned her husbands death the rest of her life

Listening to this story about how individuals mourn their deceased love loved ones, 😔😥 was very difficult to listen to in its entirety, even during the time periods listed, I found it very odd that there are many people who have extreme difficulty coping with Death, mourning for years after someone passes isn't normal, we must move on sooner or later, if you are not able to do so within an reasonable time, THERAPY may possibly be of some help for those who seek it.

Some of these are still done today. In ireland we wake our dead and they come home to the house for 1-2 days until the funeral. Someone sits up with them the entire time day or night. We eat and drink as we sit with them and talk about their lives. The priest will come periodically to do blessings.

Good video, but it's stupid to tell people how to mourn. Everybody mourns in their own way.
