In this episode of Comforting Closure - Conversations with a Death Doula, I’m joined by Gabrielle Gatto, manager of public programs from Green-Wood Cemetery, to discuss the transformation of cemeteries in today’s world. Gabrielle shares Green-Wood’s unique history as part of the rural cemetery movement and its modern role as a community hub. We also discuss how technology is helping families honor loved ones in meaningful ways and what the future holds for cemeteries as places of reflection, remembrance, and connection. 

Key takeaways from this episode include the importance of building death literacy, Green-Wood’s pioneering work in eco-friendly burials, and how cemeteries can be so much more than resting places for the dead—they can be spaces for life, learning, and community.
