Journalist Greg Melville, author of Over My Dead Body: Unearthing the Hidden History of America's Cemeteries, shares how cemeteries functioned as the first public art museums, how Abraham Lincoln redefined the concept of “the Good Death” in his Gettysburg Address, and how Facebook has become the largest (digital) graveyard. Enjoy this fascinating interview of the history in America of honoring those who have died with artistic creations. 

Through interviews with artists - writers, musicians, visual artists and storytellers - The Art of Grief explores how they use their craft to engage and re-design the architecture of their grief. As these artists discuss their work, a reassurance is offered - that though we might grieve alone, we are never alone in our grief.
