Why was death so prevalent in Victorian minds? Why was the Victorian era so full of elaborate burial rituals and events, and how did morbid Victorian culture transform our world?

Learn the answers to these questions and more by stepping back in time on the Victorian Horrors Candlelight Tour! Walk the halls of the historic Eccles mansion and experience Ogden’s Victorian Era. Spend an evening immersed in a world of elaborate funerals, mourning rituals, spiritualism, seances and grave robbery, and learn why preparing for death was such a large part of Victorian life.
