Description

This can be a well-kept secret that people love cemeteries, says creator Karen Batignani, and the interest in them is growing unexpectedly. In this guidebook, she presents 35 of Maine’s most beautiful, historic, and interesting coastal cemeteries, each and every described in a full of life and informative way. Descriptions include their locations, in addition to information about extraordinary epitaphs, notable carvings, historically relevant details, folklore, and stories about well-known stonecutters, prominent people, and war veterans. She also delves into a brief history of New England graveyards, changes in headstone styles through time, and how those changes reflect evolving cultural attitudes toward death. She even includes advice on graveyard etiquette and photography tips. This guide will appeal to someone interested in graveyards, graveyard art and photography, or history — in addition to those who wish to discover more beautiful Maine places to discuss with.
