Description
'Once upon a time, we knew that cemeteries were meant for the living as
much as for the dead. In 199 Cemeteries to See Before You Die, Loren
Rhoads does much to restore the cemetery to its proper place as a
location worthy of a pilgrimage. From the colorful wooden graves of
Romania's Merry Cemetery to the creative granite headstones in Vermont's
Hope Cemetery, 199 Cemeteries is filled with beautiful examples of
posthumous humor, astonishing artistry, and natural settings that rival
the world's best parks. A much-needed book for the curious explorer and
budding taphophile (cemetery-lover) alike.'―Dylan Thuras, Co-Founder,
Atlas Obscura'Taphophiles rejoice! This eclectic compendium is packed
with history, eye-catching monuments, quirky local characters, tips on
interpreting cemetery symbolism, and fascinating finds. It's both a
useful trip-planning tool and a browser's delight (although it may turn
idle browsers into budding cemetery explorers). Next time someone asks
why you love graveyards, show them this book.'―Bess Lovejoy, author of
Rest in Pieces: The Curious Fates of Famous Corpses'[A] guide to
checking out the hereafter before you check out.'―John Williams, The
New York Times'For the macabre-minded traveler, Rhoads' guide takes you
through the most awe-inspiring graveyards in the world.'―Entertainment
Weekly'[Author Loren Rhoads details] burial spots around the globe,
sprinkling in history and trivia that runs from the hilarious to bonechilling.
. . Halloween gift-givers take note.'―Spud Hilton, San
Francisco Chronicle 'Loren's obvious affection for cemeteries is evident
throughout 199 Cemeteries. Her personal appreciation gives life to
places most people would consider only to be about death. A must-have
book for the budding cemetery traveler and the serious taphophile.'―
Lenore X, Managing Editor, Gothic Beauty Magazine'If you're like me and
find cemeteries a fascinating way to view the real history of a place
(or even just a nice, quiet place to eat your lunch), then Loren
Rhoads's 199 Cemeteries To See Before You Die is likely to become a wellworn
travel companion. The snappy descriptions and beautiful photographs
are just enough to whet your appetite to pack your bags.'―Megan
Rosenbloom, Death Salon'In the end, that might be what lingers most
about 199 Cemeteries. An individual grave is a biography. An individual
cemetery is a slice of history. As a whole, though-as a record of so
many people who have lived in a place and then gone from it-a cemetery
becomes something more contemplative. We know who we mourn. 199
Cemeteries asks us: Where do we mourn, and why?'―Genevieve Valentine,
Vice'[199 Cemeteries] has snippets of history, photos of eye-catching

monuments, tips about what to look for on a tombstone - altogether a
fascinating reminder of a time when more people understood that
cemeteries are at least as much for the living as the dead.'―John
Wilkens, San Diego Union Tribune'Often overlooked as tourist
destinations, cemeteries deserve a new life in the eyes of the traveler.
This book pays respect to the incredible architecture, stunning
landscapes, and intriguing histories of those oft-ignored spaces around
the globe which exist to celebrate and honor life-no globetrotter's
journey is complete without it.'―Blake Olmstead, AtlasObscura.com Read
