Cremation: History and Modern Process
Amy Cunningham, Green-Wood’s death educator, leads this presentation of cremation’s history and its impact on present-day and future funerals.
This engaging and sometimes light-hearted exploration will touch on how to choose an end-of-life mode of disposition that expresses your own beliefs and values. Afterward, you will have the opportunity to visit the crematory with Gema LaBoccetta, Green-Wood’s Crematory Manager, then chat with Amy and other attendees at a short reception.
Presented as part of Reimagine End of Life, a community-wide exploration of death and celebration of life through creativity and conversation.
Green-Wood’s public programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, as well as the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
