Jennie and Dianne are excited to share Part 2 of our discussion with author Joy Giguere on "Pleasure Grounds of Death: The Rural Cemetery in Nineteenth-century America".
They explore how the rural cemetery movement transformed the funeral industry, especially following the civil war. The rise of funeral homes to handle the duties surrounding the deceased, hospitals as a place for the dying, and how cemeteries took on more management of their grounds providing stricter guidelines for monuments and plot decorations and how all of this impacted our modern relationship with death and grief.
