SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION:The Death Café is inspired by the centuries-old European salon (or café)\, an informal gathering to discuss philosophical\, political or scientific ideas. In 2011\, British entrepreneur Jon Underwood brought this 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 4\,400 Death Cafes in 26 countries around the world. \nGreen-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. Tea and light snacks are provided. \n“A place for people to discuss our inevitable fate.” – Gothamist \n“It’s a reversal for American culture\, which for a long time has shied away from these conversations.” – Village Voice \n“[E]ncouraging people to talk about death more freely and naturally.” – Haaretz \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below. \nThis program takes place in our Modern Chapel just to the right after passing through the Gothic Arches at the main entrance. All events will take place rain or shine. Click here for our inclement weather policy. \n \nMobile users: Please tap here for free registration.\n

SUMMARY:(Sold Out) The Savior of Modern Art
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. Make sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today. \nVarian Fry: Commemoration & Symposium \nHonoring the 32 Year-Old New Yorker Who Saved Marc Chagall\, Max Ernst\, Hannah Arendt and Two Thousand Others from the Nazis \nWith $3\,000 hidden on his body and the backing of the Emergency Rescue Committee\, Varian Fry flew from New York to Marseilles in August\, 1940\, to begin one of the least known\, but most heroic actions of the twentieth century. Carrying a list of 200 luminaries in the fields of art\, science\, literature and medicine\, Fry began his dangerous rescue of some of the world’s most famous artists who were then trapped in Nazi-occupied France. By the time he returned to New York a little over a year later\, Fry had saved 2\,000 souls\, some famous\, some unknown.  \nGreen-Wood is proud to join with renowned authors\, art historians and experts in the field of humanitarian aid to commemorate Varian Fry and his legacy. What can we learn today from his selfless acts of courage? What do his deeds teach us about being human in this world? Varian Fry was the first American to be designated “Righteous Among Nations” by Israel’s Yad Vashem for risking his life to aid Jews during the Holocaust.  We end the afternoon’s presentations and panel discussions with a visit to his grave to honor and remember this remarkable man.  \nA donation in memory of Barbara Schoppert and Philip Morace has been made​ to underwrite this program. \nFree for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $10 for non-members \nClick here for our inclement weather policy.

SUMMARY:Concerts in the Catacombs
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Steven Acres\nIn the heart of Green-Wood\, a simple\, iron gate leads into an underground structure few people ever see. Rarely open to the public\, the Catacombs – built in the 1850s – are one of the cemetery’s most unknown spaces. They offered 19th-century New Yorkers an above-ground burial option\, which proved to be very popular for those who feared being buried alive. \nIn the 21st-century\, musicians love the unmatched acoustic quality of this unique studio of stone. Join Atlas Obscura and Green-Wood for the premiere of a series of curated concerts featuring artists specially selected to perform in this coveted setting. Without question\, this will be New York City’s most unique musical experience.  \nTo purchase tickets\, visit Atlas Obscura’s website. \nFor member discount to Concert in the Catacombs\, email Green-Wood’s events team: events@green-wood.com

SUMMARY:(Sold Out) Death Need Not Be Fatal: Book Talk
DESCRIPTION: \nThis event is sold out. Make sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today. \n \nNew York Times bestselling author Malachy McCourt joins us for a very special literary evening to discuss his new work Death Need Not be Fatal\, a personal memoir that shows readers how to live life to its fullest\, how to grow old without acting old\, and how to die without regret. McCourt recounts the tragedies that have shaped his life: the deaths of his sister and twin brothers; the real story behind Angela’s famous ashes; and a poignant account of the death of the man who left his mother\, brothers\, and him to nearly die in squalor. Yet\, he finds humor in all that life has thrown him so as to look at the prospect of his own demise with emotional clarity and insight. McCourt will be introduced by the book’s co-author Brian McDonald. \n \nMcCourt was born in Brooklyn\, New York in 1931\, but grew up in Limerick\, Ireland. He returned to the United States at the age of 20 where he says he “did a bit of dishwashing\, long-shoring\, military service\, bartending\, stage acting\, and saloon owning.” His illustrative career also included stints as a political activist and a 2006 candidate for governor of the state of New York. In 2016\, McCourt was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Irish-American Writers. \n \nThis book talk is a Brooklyn Book Festival Bookend event. \n \nFree to attend\, reservations required. \n

SUMMARY:Obit
DESCRIPTION: \n \n \n \nIt’s a shame no one wants to talk to them at parties\, because obituary writers are a surprisingly funny bunch. Ten hours before newspapers hit neighborhood doorsteps—and these days\, ten minutes before news hits the web—an obit writer is racing against deadline to sum up a long and newsworthy life in under 1000 words. The details of these lives are then deposited into the cultural memory amid the daily beat of war\, politics\, and football scores.  \n \nJoin Green-Wood for a special screening of Obit in the Historic Chapel and a Q&A with director Vanessa Gould and former The New York Times obituary writer Doug Martin.   \n \n$10 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $15 for non-members \n \nClick here for our inclement weather policy. \n \nMobile users: Please tap here to buy tickets.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nNot a Member?\nClick here for all of our membership levels and information. \nAlready a Member?\nClick the “Enter promotional code here (members\, use your ID#)” link in the bottom right corner of the ticket box and enter your ID number to apply your ticket discount.

Afterward\, the trolley will head to Kings County Distillery in the Brooklyn Navy Yard where visitors will see first-hand how whiskey is made and enjoy a tasting of four delectable varieties. \n \nThis tour is based upon the newly published book “Dead Distillers: A History of the Upstarts and Outlaws who Made American Spirits” by Colin Spoelman\, co-founder and Master Distiller at Kings County Distillery.
