Abstract:
As the Triangle area and the South culture changes, funerals and funeral culture has stayed the same. The types of funerals people attend are categorized using the books of famous Southern authors. William Faulkner’s, Mark Twain’s, Reynolds Price’s, and Eudora Welty’s stories about funerals are used to determine whether a funeral will be about the motivations of relatives of the deceased, intense emotions of happiness, sadness, or humor, or exaggerations of the deceased’s life, personality, and accomplishments.

Abstract:
The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina conducted a study of coffin-making in Charleston to learn more about Low Country burial customs. The study showed varied roles of Charleston woodworkers in the undertaking process, but scanty documentation and lack of actual coffins for examination leave much of their involvement to conjecture.

Abstract:
Through Reverend Lisa Saunders’ work, lately being reflected in a memoir, she has learned a valuable lesson about life. It's one that applies just as aptly to the beginning or end of life. The immaterial reward of a life well lived—a good legacy left behind—is more important than material rewards.
