Subject:     Query: The Trental

Dear Friends,

Can anyone point me to a source (or two) for information about Elizabethan post-mortem rites and customs, e.g., the trental, the month's mind, the year's mind, etc.?

Has anyone done a scholarly in-depth study of these practices?

Many thanks,
Steve Sohmer
