AFRICAN AMERICAN - FUNERAL PROGRAMS

Index to African-American Funeral Programs
Located in the
Florence Lauderdale Public Library

The African-American Funeral Programs are small biographies of the deceased, and are a great source for family information.  This collection has been started by Anita (Smith) Cobb with programs saved by her mother, Mrs. Hattie (Pride) Smith. The major portion of them are local - Lauderdale and Colbert Counties, AL, but there are several that are not.  Please keep in mind that this is an index. It does not list everything that may be found in the individual program.  This is a growing collection and will be added to as more programs are made available. If you have funeral programs you would like to share, please contact me. Pat M. Mahan
