This project will examine American burial and mourning customs, particularly focusing on the shift from home to the professional care of the departed after 1864. The Civil War was a turning point in death care, causing Americans to embrace new trends in body preparation and cemetery burial. However, these new professional funeral homes and planned garden cemeteries largely attempted to limit or completely exclude business from African American customers. Restricting access to death care services became yet one more way that the white community effectively discriminated against families of color during some of their most vulnerable life changes. This work will tie together changes in funeral care and explore how African American communities created their own networks of care out of necessity throughout the periods examined. While African American-owned funeral homes were established to provide this end-of-life care, many historic black cemeteries have since been subject to vandalism and neglect. This project will also explore more recent cemetery preservation efforts, particularly in Texas. Climate change, urban sprawl, and extreme weather specifically threaten these historic sites in the Texas region. This project will also tie together a study of Texas sites for the first time and compare how the Texas story compares to other communities of color across the nation.
