Funeral Customs
Obituaries were published in local newspapers but those papers were weekly
or sometimes even bi-weekly publications and were not always delivered to
every rural family. It was, therefore, a common practice to print "funeral
notices" or "funeral invitations" and deliver them to the homes of friends
and relatives or to post them at the community store for everyone to see.

was delivered to my grandmother's home outside Eagleville, TN.
