was a funeral trade magazine started in the mid-1800s. These magazines were usually a quirky take on the macabre. They also usually advertized hearses, coffins, embalming fluids, clothes, and cosmetics as well. It was virtually a weird magazine for those interested in death and, maybe, funeral directors.
