The Funeral Parlor will be a new addition to Collinwood Manor. It will be used for family funerals. Caskets will be set in the main room in front of the bay window with 2 tall standing candlelabras on each side of the casket. There will be stationary wreaths made to surround the casket.
A large pipe organ will be housed here also. The decorator has been to the mansion for a few visits, so color schemes and such have been discussed. It appears that red, purple, gray and black have been choosen as the colors to be used. A votive candle table will be next to the casket. A Vampire killing kit will be housed next to the casket stand thanks to the creativity of Mr. & Mrs. Caretaker of Colunbia, S.C..
Due to the history of the Collins Family, Mistress Muffy has requested the on staff carpenter to build a wooden coffin to sit on the stand incase it would be needed. This project will be completed during April 2008 and entered in the Halloween Forums "Coffin Contest".
Most of the coffins in the Collins Cemetery were made by generations of the same family, as these people came from Europe with the older generations of the Collins Family. |
