Her . . . Funeral?

Rather taken by this late 18th c. trade card for Susanna Cook, Carpenter, Trunk, and Box-Maker! She even offered "carry-on sizes" and performed funerals. Wonder if it was only for male Londoners?

This old gravestone gives us two fundamental types of symbol, the upper figure is a winged soul as a symbol of immortality while the lower representation of a skull and crossed bones is a symbol of mortality. Year unknown but could be 18th Century.

The coming end of the year is often a time for reflection. When I question whether I can continue my studies, due to poor health, I am reminded of this glorious grave marker from Crailing Old Parish Churchyard, the King of Terrors, and my enthusiasm is renewed ☺️
