Movie Reviews of A Cemetery Special
Movie Review: Moderately Entertaining and Enlightening
Summary: 3 Stars
This one hour "special" that originally aired on PBS in 2005 is adequately produced and gives the viewer some interesting information about the history of "burying grounds" in the US. Beautiful and historic cemeteries including Mt. Auburn in Boston, Oakland in Atlanta and Lakeview in Cleveland are given special prominence. An unusual cemetery in Vermont containing many beautiful granite monuments made from native stone is also one of the more memorable features. Cemeteries in suburban San Francisco, Waterloo, New York, Key West, Florida and Fairbanks, Alaska are included. This is not a sad, morbid or spooky film at all and it even has touches of humor. Encouragement of preservation of cemeteries for their beauty, history and cultural significance is a major theme as is the advantages of using these often lovely places for activities far removed from funerals.
