A History of Death

On this episode of A History of Death, we discuss catacombs, crypts, and columbaria as alternatives to cemeteries.  

In this week's episode, we'll explore some professions that make their living from studying the dead.

What are the symbols carved into headstones, and what do they mean? Because cemeteries literally cement the past in stone, they allow researchers the opportunity to study their iconography. Many of the symbols we know and recognize today were brought to the U.S through colonization. 

In this episode, we'll decode some of the most popular cemetery symbols, while also looking into the disappearance of one of the most well-recognized symbols. 

Do we deny death?
