 | Eastern Time Zone (ET) – Online [English] Dr. Roger Minert will speak on “Cemeteries and Burial Customs in Central Europe.” The customs associated with funerals and burials in German-language regions of Europe are substantially different from corresponding rituals in the United States. The layout and maintenance of cemeteries is also quite different. In this presentation, images are used to illustrate cemetery conditions and cultural customs associated with funerals and burials. The presenter demonstrates how the individual or family grave and its appearance are of great concern to Europeans. The question of death and burial records – often asked by North American researchers – is also discussed in detail.
