Just caught this pretty cool piece from the Daily Beast!
A Second Life for Cemeteries
A Gravediggers’ Ball in Philadelphia’s Laurel Hill Cemetery. Pumpkin carving in the Sleepy Hollow graveyard. Open-air movies in a Los Angeles cemetery. Is this any way to honor the dead? If you’re one of the dozens of executives who oversee the nation’s most storied bone orchards, the answer is a resounding yes...

Reserve now for my tour on Saturday, Oct. 13th:
"The Trinity Church Cemetery tour...was really excellent. Eric's knowledge of the site, neighborhood, and side stories of the cemetery residents made it an extremely enjoyable experience. Eric was personable, informative, entertaining and very accommodating in his guiding and handling of the group as we made our way along the route. Would recommend it highly, a 5-star experience."
