A
CEMETERY SPECIAL
is a not-spooky
documentary that
celebrates American
cemeteries as
unusual places
full of history,
art, architecture
and surprises
of many sorts.
Cemeteries are
of course where
we bury the dead,
where we mark
their graves with
monuments and
markers of many
sorts, but also
where we go to
remember people
we have loved,
admired, or learned
about over the
years.
In
this one-hour
public television
special, we visit
cemeteries from
Key West to Fairbanks,
from Barre, Vermont,
to Colma, California,
and we meet many
people who take
care of these
places, who give
tours, who visit
often and some
who just enjoy
walking among
the headstones.
