Synopsis:
It may sound ghoulish to admit to a weakness for cemeteries, but a cemetery visit can often enliven a travel experience. Death may not take a holiday, but visitors to cemeteries can! After all, several of the most-visited tourist sights are tombs: the Taj Mahal in India, Napoleon's tomb in Paris, and the Pyramids in Egypt. And how about all the fans at Elvis Presley's grave at Graceland in Memphis, or John F. Kennedy's Eternal Flame in Arlington National Cemetery? Certain cemeteries are popular not just for their permanent residents, but for the beauty of the grounds and grandeur of the monuments, with mausoleums created by Louis Sullivan or heroic statuary by Daniel Chester French. A cemetery stroll can bring the past--though not the dead--to life. History buffs like to see where Old What's-His-Name lives, and are often surprised at where he ended up. In addition to a brief description of each cemetery, with pertinent practical information for visitors, succinct biographies of selected residents help Where the Bodies Are serve as a many-peopled tribute to those who have gone before.
