*slams fists on table* FUNERAL HOME DOLLHOUSE

FUNEREAL FRIDAY
Still one of my favorite vintage photos: 1950 - A fascinating educational innovation in the 1950s was National Selected Morticians (NSM) creation of model casket displays. More than forty miniature caskets were hand-crafted from wood, finished to resemble actual merchandise and used to simulate various display set-ups. Each miniature measured about six inches in length.

Call me sappy, but seeing the carpet wear in front of the viewing side of a casket hit different today. Many people have visited their loved ones in this same spot, for many years, as will many more.
