Summary:
"A travel guide to the world's most visited
cemeteries
, told through spectacular photography and their unique histories and residents. More than 3.5 million tourists flock to Paris's Père Lachaise cemetery each year. They are lured there, and to many
cemeteries
around the world, by a combination of natural beauty, ornate tombstones and crypts, notable residents, vivid history, and even wildlife. Many also visit Mount Koya cemetery in Japan, where 10,000 lanterns illuminate the forest setting, or graveside in Oaxaca, Mexico to witness Day of the Dead fiestas. Savannah's Bonaventure Cemetery has gorgeous night tours of the Southern Gothic tombstones under moss-covered trees that is
one
of the most popular draws of the city. This book features these unforgettable
cemeteries
, along with 196 more, seen in more than 300 photographs. Loren Rhoads, who hosts the Cemetery Travel blog, details the history and features that make each destination unique. Throughout are profiles of famous people buried there, striking memorials by noted artists, and unusual elements, such as the hand carved wood grave markers in the Merry Cemetery in Romania. Loren Rhoads is the author of Wish You Were Here: Adventures in Cemetery Travel, and Morbid Curiosity Cures and the Blues. Her blog at CemeteryTravel.com details her first-hand visits. She lives in San Francisco."--Provided by publisher.
