A swift #introduction for anyone who is new here - I’m Dr Dan O’Brien, historian of undertakers, funerals and death in eighteenth century England. I can often be found talking about early undertakers or researching their ephemera. 
I also enjoy sharing mourning jewellery, cemetery trips and other death-related items from history such as this striking rosary bead. Hopefully you will join me for more adventures in death history! #MementoMori #history #histodons #cemetery #twittermigration
