Can You Mourn The Right Way In The 1800s?

Hello. As you know, you are now officially mourning. Pray tell, who have you lost?

Pray, select a Mourning Buddy to guide you through this long journey.

You must, according to Victorian Mourning Law, Addendum IV, hang an etching on your door that signifies to every passerby you're in mourning. Which will you choose?

The Council of Victorian Mourning would like to send you one free mourning accessory of your choosing. Which will you send for?

Heavens! You mustn't be indecent whilst mourning. Please, put on a bonnet!

Now, select a gorgeously solemn dress of the deepest onyx which will make all other mourners' gowns pale in comparison.

You are, at all times, required to wear a trinket made from your dearly departed's hair. Kindly make your choice.

What will your signature mourning style be?

You did all the right things: shrouding yourself in clothes of the deepest black to express your grief, working your loved one's hair into your own personal style in the most extravagant way possible, and most importantly: you chose a Mourning Buddy who really knows how to party, Victorian style. Well done!

You have successfully mourned as a Victorian!

We're very sorry, but you just didn't follow the strict mourning rules! Sadly, you will have to redo the process all over again. It will take about five years to complete, but after that you'll be able to wear colors again, and your Mourning Buddy will finally stop coming over to your house and eating all your food. Hang in there.

You mourned all wrong!
