Cemeteries are more than resting places for the dead; they are mirrors of the societies that built them.
From ancient burial mounds and medieval churchyards to sprawling Victorian "cities of the dead" and today's memorial parks, cemeteries reveal how humans have understood death, memory, religion, class, and public health. In this episode of History Shorts, we trace how burial practices evolved across centuries, and why cemeteries moved from the heart of towns to the edges of cities.
