Tomb With A View

Tomb With A View is a quarterly newsletter for cemetery friends, fans and followers. It is about the appreciation, study and preservation of the art and heritage in historic cemeteries. Many cemeteries regard themselves as "outdoor museums" because they are the repositories of artistic and horticultural wonders out of sight from the general view. Tomb With A View offers you a realm of awe, charm and sometimes mystique.

The newsletter is a guide to visiting well-known and not-as-well known cemeteries by listing special events and activities occurring throughout the year. It provides an opportunity to expand your knowledge of cemetery art, history, heritage, social customs, and preservation. Feature articles in each issue focus on individuals or groups that have developed their love of cemeteries into a means of livelihood or community service. Tomb With A View also includes book reviews, "eternal epitaphs", fascinating facts, announcements and plenty of other helpful information to enhance a leisurely sojourn to historic cemeteries across the country, and perhaps beyond.

Look below for a sampling of articles in the current and past issues of Tomb With A View, then scroll down for information about historic cemeteries that offer self-guided walking or driving tours, links to tons of cemetery and preservation sites, "Pick of the Month" special events and preservation updates, and suggestions for safely making gravestone rubbings. For fascinating and fun cemetery factoids, have a look at "Did You Know....?"
