Alexandra Like all of you, I love going on cemetery tours. I have gone on my fair share of them and written articles about several of my favorites. My all time favorite cemetery is Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. Having visited there in my capacity as a funeral director, as well as for tours, I decided to do a book ab...out the cemetery. Green-Wood Cemetery was published in the fall of 2008 by Arcadia Publishing as part of their Images of America series. If you can’t get to Green-Wood anytime soon, you may enjoy touring it throught the pages of my book. The interest in Green-Wood and the book gave me the impetus to create a Facebook page on which I share photos and information about one of America’s most beautiful and historic cemeteries. The link to the site is below. I hope you will visit and become a fan.
For generations, Green-Wood Cemetery has played an integral part in New York City's cultural history, serving as a gathering place and a cultural repository. Situated in the historic borough of Brooklyn, the thousands of graves and mausoleums within the cemetery's 478 a...cres are tangible links and reminders to key events and people who made New York City and America what it is today. The monuments read like a who's who of American greatness and include the names of Leonard Bernstein, F. A. O. Schwarz, Charles L. Tiffany, Samuel Morse, and DeWitt Clinton, among others. A national historic landmark since 2006, Green-Wood is considered one of the preeminent cemeteries in the country and is a living display of the evolving funeral traditions of the city and America as a whole. The cemetery was and remains one of the city's largest open green spaces and a century ago was a social venue for picnics, outings, and political events. Through vintage photographs, Green-Wood Cemetery chronicles the cemetery's rich history and documents how its tradition as a park and a popular tourist attraction continues, drawing 300,000 visitors annually.

The death wail is a custom attributed to several different cultures that I have been interested in learning more about. Though I did not find a singular “guru” to help me on this quest for knowledge, I hope you’ll allow me to share with you my findings in this column format.
