Alexandra Kathryn Mosca: I am a writer, author, and funeral director who has a passion for cemeteries. Having visited more cemeteries than most people, I write about them for publication. For over 25 years, I have been a regular contributor to American Cemetery & Cremation magazine, where I profile notable cemeteries such as Green-Wood, Kensico, Salem Fields, Westchester Hills, and Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery. Additionally, I have served as a cemetery tour guide. This blog showcases many of the photos from my visits
