A cartoon in which three undertakers run towards and an old man wearing a red cap. The old man is about to be speared by death, personified as a skeleton.

Thanks to everyone who came along to today’s talk at Christ Church Frome. Brilliant to have such a large audience to share my research with and a really treat to answer some fantastic questions afterwards.

Next - Arnos Vale cemetery 25th Feb

Caricature of an undertaker meeting an elderly man and offering his services. The undertaker is carrying a coffin on his back and holds his hat tightly in his hands. The old man is enraged with his visitor. The old man’s dog is also barking fiercely at the undertaker.
