A Gleam in His Eye Trolley Tour
2016-11-05 10:00 - 12:00
David Bates Douglass’s master plan for Green-Wood’s landscape pre-dated Central and Prospect Parks and gave 19th-century Brooklynites and New Yorkers a place to escape from the urban grind. A green scape ahead of its time, the cemetery winds its way through rolling hills and glacial ponds with each twist and turn. Art Presson, Green-Wood’s Vice-President of Design and Landscape, will lead visitors through Douglass’s creation and how it has evolved after nearly two centuries.

Death Café
2017-01-10 18:00 - 19:30 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States

The Death Café is a simple concept. It was inspired by the centuries-old European salon (or café) where people gathered informally to discuss philosophical, political or scientific ideas. In 2011, British entrepreneur Jon Underwood brought the concept to discussions of the most universal topic of all: death. Underwood’s intention was to provide an opportunity to “increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their lives.” Today, there are over 1,500 death cafes in 26 countries around the world.

Beginning in January 2017, Green-Wood is proud to host monthly gatherings of the Death Café here in our beautiful, modern chapel. Amy Cunningham, death educator and creator of the Brooklyn-based blog TheInspiredFuneral.com, invites participants to share their thoughts and feelings on death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges, without an agenda. Coffee and light snacks are provided.

Free to attend, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below.
