Funeral biscuits : ウィキペディア英語版 | Funeral biscuits Funeral biscuits were a type of biscuit traditionally served at funerals in England and North America. The ''Gentleman's Magazine'' described funeral biscuits in 1790. The writer described them as "a kind of sugared biscuit, which are wrapped up, generally two of them together, in a sheet of wax paper, sealed with black wax". The biscuits were given to each person attending the funeral, and were a custom of the funerals of "lower and the middling class of people".〔 In early North America the biscuits were stamped with a winged head or cherub, or an hourglass or skull. ==See also==
