Gardens of Stone --- A Cemetery Blog by Alexandra Kathryn Mosca

  "A Pocket of Peace," a profile of Hartsdale Pet Cemetery, in Westchester, New York, is the cover story for November's American Cemetery & Cremation magazine.  It was a delight to learn more about this very special place, and to see the outpouring of love at every turn.

  Sandy was the beloved pet dog of a Bronx real estate developer. For her eternal resting place, he decided to have a small replica of his family mausoleum built in Hartsdale Pet Cemetery. Constructed of Barre granite, it sports a bronze door with a handle in the shape of an S. The developer has been quoted as saying that he "wanted to give her a last special gift."
