New York's Famous Cemeteries

Most people think of cemeteries when Halloween is approaching, which seems like an unfortunate omission. From cemeteries you can get a very accurate idea of the culture - in the broadest sense of the word - of a country or nation, its traditions, customs and values.

The list of celebrities buried in and around New York City includes representatives of a variety of classes and professions: politicians and gangsters, musicians and actors, military and industrialists, artists and architects who were successful in life and appreciated only after death.

Many cemeteries of the “capital of the world” are well-groomed parks located in picturesque places; from the cemeteries located on the hills, breathtaking views of the surrounding area open; among the tombstones you can find many sculptural and architectural masterpieces created by leading artists of the XIX and XX centuries. In the city there are both huge cemeteries, the number of burials in which exceeds three million, and very small (including a cemetery with one burial), located in the most unexpected places; even in Manhattan, where there are little-known corners, where people who once ruled the fates of millions found eternal peace.

The route and duration of the tour are planned taking into account the interests of tourists. The route may include the surrounding area. Tourists are provided with individual radio systems with headphones.
