The Mourning Society wouldn’t be anything if it weren’t for an amazing group of volunteers that make our events so special. We’ll be shining a spotlight on our members throughout the fall season.

Interested in becoming a member. Find out more here.

💀 How long have you been a member of the Mourning Society of St Louis and how did you get started?

I have been a member for 7 or 8 years now. I meet Edna at the Bastille Day event at DeMenil House. I have been an actor and reenactor for many years. The Victorian age has always fascinated me.

💀 What role do you play in the group?

I am " the widower."

💀 What is your favorite Mourning Society event?

Favorite event is at Bellefontaine. I love the atmosphere of the cemetery. I need to spend more time there, appropriately dressed of course.

💀 What is your favorite topic?

Hard to say. I can't really pick just one.
