Gardens of Stone, published in 2016, is an overview of notable #NYC #cemeteries. Inspired by the many visits I've made to cemeteries as both a writer & funeral director. #taphophile #taphophilia #finalrestingplace #tombstonetourist #cemeterytourism #Death

Kates-Boylston offers non-subscribers complimentary digital access to June's American Cemetery & Cremation mag. My article on cemetery bloggers (I am one) and the reasons we chronicle the sometimes obscure stories we find in cemeteries is in this issue. https://t.co/YxidGHNZwG

@sixtyandme Thanks for the opportunity to write about these fabulous women.

@myASDcalls @sixtyandme Thank you for sharing.

[AlexandraKathryn @AlexandraKMosca]

@Starz723 @GreenWoodHF I would enjoy that immensely.

[AlexandraKathryn @AlexandraKMosca]

We often discuss the changes in #funeralservice: more cremations, shorter visitations, etc. What we're not talking about is the sharp decrease in the number of funeral homes. Where are the opportunities for the next generation of #funeraldirectors? https://t.co/jy0nJfC5uK

[AlexandraKathryn @AlexandraKMosca]

@Starz723 @GreenWoodHF Thanks for weighing in with your expertise. You are such a treasure, and asset to @GreenWoodHF .

With memorial services on the rise, fueled in part by the Covid restrictions of 2020, this was an interesting topic to explore further. #funeralservice #funeral #funeralsmatter #memorialservice @sixtyandme

The Halloran #mausoleum in Calvary #Cemeterybears a striking resemblance to Green-Wood's Mackay family mausoleum. @GreenWoodHF #cemeterytourism #taphophilia #NecroTourism #
