That Shakespeare Life
Funerals, Memorials, and Burials

Most notably, and my apologies here for any spoilers, the play is still worth seeing, but there's an elaborate funeral for Hamlet ordered by Fortinbras at the end of the play. This funeral is said to mirror the real funeral of English poet, Sir...
