Description

A hauntingly beautiful guide to the world’s most interesting and unusual cemeteries. Author Loren Rhodes knows the lure of ornate tombstones and crypts, of discovering notable eternal residents and a graveyard’s history. In the photo-filled book, she compiles the most striking spots around the globe, organized by continent, including:
*Paris’s Pere Lachaise, where millions of visitors each year flock to see the grave of Jim Morrison.
*Green-wood Cemetery, one of New York’s top tourist attractions when it opened in 1838.
*Japan’s wooded Okunoin Cemetery, lit by 10,000 lanterns.
*Merry Cemetery in Romania, filled with hand-carved, brightly painted grave markers.
