          oldest surviving artisans society, but also the first to be granted 
          national status in a Royal Warrant from Queen Elizabeth I. Dedicated 
          to the promotion and execution of the art of Funerary Violin: a tradition 
          once placed at the very heart of our notions of mortality, but now sadly 
          neglected, if not forgotten altogether; the GFV works tirelessly to 
          raise awareness of both the great wealth of music composed to accompany 
          the laying to rest of a tragically departed soul; but also the great 
          wealth of ritual and symbolism associated with mortality and the Funerary 
          Aesthetic, that seems to be so lacking in the culture of today, where 
          Death is pushed to one side and hidden like some embarrassing family 
          secret. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://65.108.223.156/tempmirror/guildabout.html"><FONT face="JSL Ancient">NULLUS FUNUS SINE FIDULA. </FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6EA8D7F9-5150-4BCB-AB52-5834E17A5E9E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
