While contemporary Americans usually avoid thinking about death, Victorian Americans romanticized death and mourning. True False

False. Victorian Americans did have certain rituals and customs surrounding death and mourning that might seem romanticized by contemporary standards, such as elaborate mourning attire and mourning jewelry, but it would be inaccurate to generalize that they universally romanticized death itself. Views on death and mourning varied among individuals and were influenced by factors such as religious beliefs, social status, and personal experiences.
