Check out my brand new book:
Guess what? I’ve got a brand new book about historic cemeteries coming out on Sunday! It’s called Grave Goods. Here’s a one-minute book trailer I made for it:
What are Grave Goods?
Grave goods are items left at a gravesite or buried with the deceased. Flowers are the most common modern-day example. You’ve probably seen a bouquet at a gravesite, but people actually leave a whole bunch of different things on graves. I’ve seen everything from fire hydrants to clown noses! And, yes, I’ve got photos of those things – and more.
50+ Full-page color photos
Grave Goods includes more than 50 full-page color photos showing interesting examples of grave goods I’ve seen all over the world – Texas, Australia, Argentina, England, Alaska, and so on!
Religion, Culture, and even Economics
In Grave Goods, I describe the origin and history behind the many different grave goods that you see in cemeteries, including how the Great Depression impacted this practice. I also touch on cultural and religious origins for different items, and sort out a few “facts versus myths” along the way.
Special Early Bird Pre-order Sale
Do you enjoy exploring cemeteries? Right now, Grave Goods is on a special Early Bird Preorder sale for a mere $1.99. That’s the lowest Amazon would let me price it since the photos make it such a big file. If the topic interests you, I hope you check it out! Once the book launches, I’ll be raising the price to $4.99.
Have you seen or left grave goods in a cemetery?
Have you ever seen grave goods at a gravesite? Have you ever left any at a gravesite?
