About Me

Alexandra Kathryn Mosca: I recently signed a contract for a new book --my third-- which is titled "Gardens of Stone: The Cemeteries of New York from Colonial Times to the Present." This is a wonderful opportunity to incorporate much of the research I've done, and photos I've taken, for the many cemetery profiles I've penned over the years. The manuscript is due this summer and will likely have a 2015 release date.I am also the author of Green-Wood Cemetery (Arcadia Publishing, 2008)and Grave Undertakings (New Horizon Press, 2003). For the 15 years, I have been a regular contributor to American Cemetery & American Funeral Director Magazines. In that time, I have profiled a number of noted cemeteries, including Green-Wood, Calvary, Oakland, Gate of Heaven, Salem Fields and Ferncliff. My interest in cemeteries began as an offshoot of my career as a funeral director. Having spent time in many cemeteries in my capacity as a funeral director, made me see that graveyards are so much more than a place to bury the dead. They are also repositories of history, set on bucolic grounds, where one can admire diverse architectural styles while reflecting upon the intersection of life and death.
