Unlocking the Secrets of the Cemetery

Kimberly Kenney
Unlocking_secrets_cemetery_symbolism

Cemeteries have a special language, spoken through the symbols carved on tombstones.  Using photographs from cemeteries across the country, this program demystifies the symbolism and explains the origins of the "rural cemetery movement" in the mid-19th century.  Kim Kenney has a passion for cemeteries, and was recently awarded the Oakley Certificate of Merit from the Association of Gravestone Studies.  This illustrated lecture is part of Kim's on-going cemetery research project.  The fee for this program is $25.
