Do not be concerned about visiting the National Museum of Funeral History -- it is not morbid or creepy at all. This very tasteful, well-curated, and respectful museum is appropriate for all ages (even young children). They have age-appropriate activities for kids, including coloring pages and a scavenger hunt that gets them (or you) 10% off on purchases from the gift shop.
Flags of six world countries hang from the rafters in the International Funeral Customs exhibit at the National Funeral History Museum. Make sure to check out the FASCINATING Ghanian Fantasy Caskets that are truly works of art.
The flags are:
Japan
Mexico
Grand Duchy of Monaco
Germany
Ghana
The United Kingdom
