Description
A hauntingly beautiful guide to the world’s most interesting and unusual cemeteries.

*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.
