Tomb With A View: A Cemetery Podcast

I’ve been listening to this podcast nearly everyday on my drive to work. The podcast is well research without feeling like I’m listening to an academic paper. Liz adds just enough personality to keep it interesting without getting too off topic. Perfect podcast to listen to while volunteering cleaning gravestones. Leads me to daydream about a cemetery-related job.

Brilliant podcast. It addresses not just the trends and practices of the disposal of dead bodies in America, but also how those practices evolved within our culture and society parallel to historical events and discoveries and the expansion of scientific knowledge and religious or spiritual practices and trends. I lived across the street from Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain and have toured Mt. Auburn cemetery. Liz is better at putting cemetery practices and personalities in context than any cemetery tour I attended.

I know Liz has been traveling and posting on social media but I truly miss this podcast. It was always well-researched and well-presented. With so many terrible podcasts out there on cemeteries, I really miss this one and hope to see it return.

I really enjoy listening to the podcast during my commute and I am bummed to see that you are no longer recording new ones… Any chance you’ll revive it?
