Here is the promised funeral cookbook! Food to Die For: A Book of Funeral Food, Tips, and Tales compiled by Jessica Bemis Ward (2004) is a combination of history, culture, and helpful advice on funerals and recipes. The first five images are from Food to Die For with recipes!
There is only one cookbook in our collection dedicated to funerals, but there are others with funeral home ads with these two being from 1947 and 1977 which I've added in as a bonus! Both are cookbooks written by local towns in Mississippi and are available in our digital collections.
