#25: Houston, TX
Texas is a big state; therefore, they don’t do anything small. So, it somehow seems fitting that it would be home to the National Museum of Funeral History. Here, you can visit the nation’s most extensive collection of funeral service items, representing funerals throughout our country’s history.
The museum hosts fifteen permanent exhibits, all focusing on different aspects of mourning and the funeral service industry. You’ll even get a peek at what it’s like to hold a funeral for a President, a pope, or a celebrity. Take the hour-long guided tour and learn more than you ever thought possible about the funeral service industry, which has a long tradition and heritage that most people rarely consider.
