Following a death, there are ways in which we grieve, honor, and remember those who have passed. The subsequent rituals and customs that follow death differ from person to peron, culture to culture, and have changed over the course of history. Dearly Departed: Death, Mourning, & Remembrance invites guests to explore these traditions, both modern and historical. Visitors can reflect on how they themselves confront loss and remember their own departed loved ones. From religious and cultural customs to spiritualism and superstitions, visitors will learn how residents of the St. Joseph River Valley have celebrated and mourned death.
