Souvenirs: National Museum of Funeral History
Houston, Texas
The National Museum of Funeral History, Houston, Texas was our very first Hypertour stop, and the tiny gift display near the entrance already threatened to blow the souvenir budget.
We opted for the less expensive items. Of particular note: Private label bottled water, from the Undertakers Spring, available by the case. Though we are absolutely sure the source is a regional natural spring, it was hard to shake the image of boneyard runoff merrily percolating into plastic slurp bottles.
But we were thirsty.
We also grabbed a few NMFH thermal drink cozies, stamped with the slogan "Any day above ground is a good one."
We fancied the solid chocolate caskets, available in several models, though we calculated low probability of trip survival with the August heat.
And for that loved one with everything, there's a golf putter with an iron casket on the business end.
