All programming is available on a first-come\, first-served basis\, regardless of registration. \n\n\n\nMoonFest is Green-Wood’s new after-hours celebration of humanity’s enduring fascination with the moon. The event draws inspiration from the Cemetery’s permanent resident\, John Draper\, who made history in 1840 by capturing one of the earliest photographs of the moon\, proving we could bridge the 238\,000-mile gap between the Earth and our celestial neighbor. Channeling that pioneering spirit\, creatives\, scientists\, historians\, and stargazers will guide visitors in exploring the moon’s profound influence on our world\, from the rhythm of the tides and time to mythology and the future of space travel.  \n\n\n\nA complete schedule of tours\, lectures\, and activities is forthcoming. Check back here soon!   \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Waitlist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that all activities are first-come\, first-served; registration doesn’t guarantee a spot\, so be sure to arrive early! \n\n\n\nThis program is funded by Simons Foundation International and administered by the Simons Foundation’s Science\, Society & Culture division.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKnow Before You Go:\n\n\n\n\nTickets: There is no need to print tickets! Attendees will be checked in by name.\n\n\n\nWhere To Go: Check-in takes place at the Green-House (750 Fifth Avenue)\, near the Main Entrance on Fifth Avenue and 25th Street.\n\n\n\nAccessibility & Safety: While most of the program takes place in the ADA-accessible Green-House\, it includes a walking tour over hilly\, grassy\, and uneven terrain. This portion is not wheelchair accessible and may be challenging for those with balance or mobility issues. There are no seating areas during the tour. For disability-related accommodations\, contact us at 718-210-3080\, ext. 1 or events@green-wood.com. This tour is not recommended for children under 10. Please wear appropriate footwear.\n\n\n\nRefunds: All ticket sales are final. Refunds are only permissible if the tour is canceled by Green-Wood. Tickets cannot be exchanged for a different tour date.\n\n\n\nInclement Weather Policy: We monitor weather conditions throughout the day for the best chance of proceeding with the tour\, and will not make a final decision until approximately 3 hours before the start of the tour.

SUMMARY:Signatures for Safekeeping: Preparing End-of-Life Documents 
DESCRIPTION:Most of our decisions around end-of-life not only involve answering the big questions\, but also handling complex paperwork. This program offers practical and accessible guidance on the documents that help ensure our wishes are known (both for ourselves and others). Designed for adults at any stage of life\, this series emphasizes empowerment to combat feelings of overwhelm.  \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn from lawyers\, estate planners\, and end-of-life care practitioners about essential documents such as advance directives\, health care proxies\, wills\, powers of attorney\, and other planning tools. The sessions will take care to break down what each document does and when it’s needed.   \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nKnow Before You Go:\n\n\n\n\nWhere To Go: This program will take place at The Green-House (750 Fifth Avenue)\, across the street from the Main Entrance of Green-Wood (500 25th Street). \n\n\n\nAccessibility & Safety: The Green-House is an ADA-compliant building; however\, extra accommodations for visitors using wheelchairs or other mobility aids are encouraged before reserving tickets. To contact our staff with any questions regarding accommodations and accessibility\, call 718-210-3080\, ext. 1\, or email events@green-wood.com.
