Over My Dead Body: Unearthing the Hidden History of America's Cemeteries by Greg Melville
informative
medium-paced

I was pretty excited about this - it only partially met expectations. There aren't personal stories or a cohesive thread like I love, but pretty solid survey of interesting cemeteries. Everything from theme parks, subdivisions and parks were inspired by cemeteries - that's pretty cool. And the descriptions really make me want to visit these places I usually feel unwelcome or like I'm trespassing unless I'm there on family business. They were built to visit - and picnic?? - in most cases, after all!
