SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION: \n \n \nThe 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. \n \nBeginning 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. \n \n“A place for people to discuss our inevitable fate” – Gothamist \n \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below. \n \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:Gardens of Stone: Book Talk and Panel
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Art Presson\nNew York City is famous for many things – hot dogs\, the Empire State Building\, pigeons. And add to that list cemeteries. Author and funeral director Alexandra Kathryn Mosca leads us on an armchair tour of cemeteries both large and small (and we are talking really small) throughout the five boroughs. Her new book\, Gardens of Stone\, explores how memorials and monuments help to tell the tale of New York City\, from its humble beginnings to its emergence as a world capital. She will be joined by John Rousmaniere\, who has compiled an illustrated history of Evergreens Cemetery (which straddles Brooklyn and Queens)\, titled Green Oasis in Brooklyn\, and Richard L. Simpson\, who recently published a book on Staten Island’s Moravian Cemetery. \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.

SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION: \n \n \nThe 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.

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. \n \nBeginning 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.

SUMMARY:(Sold Out) Black in 19th-Century Brooklyn
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. \nIn 1838\, just eleven years after New York State abolished slavery\, a free black man named James Weeks made his first purchase of land in Brooklyn. Weeksville\, named after Weeks\, would become one of America’s largest free Black communities prior to the Civil War. In the same year\, Green-Wood Cemetery was established. What do they have in common? Both honor the lives of African Americans who lived in Brooklyn and who made their mark on the city’s past and future. Nearly two hundred years later\, Green-Wood and Weeksville Heritage Center join together to celebrate and recognize their shared history by welcoming you to a very special Saturday afternoon. \nAboard Green-Wood’s trolley\, you’ll begin your tour with a survey of the many prominent Black New Yorkers and abolitionists laid to rest here\, including Margaret Pine (1778-1857)\, the last woman to have lived as a slave in New York\, Susan Smith McKinney Steward (1847-1918)\, whose family owned land in Weeksville and who became first black female doctor in the state\, and the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1959-1988)\, among many others. Then we head to Weeksville in Crown Heights\, now Brooklyn’s largest African-American cultural institution\, to see the new permanent exhibition Weeksville\, Transforming Community/In Pursuit of Freedom and the 19th-century Hunterfly Road houses. This trolley tour begins and ends at Green-Wood. A box lunch will be provided\, and we’ll dine in the new and beautiful main room of the Weeksville Heritage Center. Please email events@green-wood.com with any food allergies. \n$35 for members of Green-Wood and BHS/$40 for non-members. \nGreen-Wood trolley tours are fully accessible and ADA compliant. In order to accommodate a wheelchair or other mobility device on the trolley\, advance arrangements must be made. Please call (718) 210-3080\, ext. 1. Please note that portions of the tour take place outside the trolley and may require exiting the vehicle on multiple occasions. Please contact the Historic Fund for more information. \nTrolley tours are run rain or shine\, with the exception of dangerous conditions as determined by Green-Wood.

SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Art Presson\n \n \n \n \nThe 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. \n \nBeginning 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. \n \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below. \n \nAll events will take place rain or shine.

SUMMARY:Cremation: History and Modern Process
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Art Presson\n \n \n \n \nWhat is cremation? How long have we been doing it\, and how does it work? Amy Cunningham\, death educator\, leads this presentation of cremation’s history (from its origins 32\,000 years ago in Australia) and its impact on present-day and future funerals.

SUMMARY:When The Bell Tolls
DESCRIPTION:Are we ever really ready for the time when the bell tolls? If we’re open to talking about it\, we might be a least a little more prepared.

Eerdmans Publishing Company)\, Amy Cunningham (blogger at The Inspired Funeral and founder of Fitting Tribute Funeral Services)\, and Benjamin Mitchell-Yellin (Near-Death Experiences: Understanding Visions of the Afterlife\, published by Oxford University Press).  \nPresented in partnership with Forum @ St. Ann’s. This program will take place at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church\, at 157 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights. \nFree. Reservations recommended. \n\nMobile users: Please tap here for free registration.\nAll events will take place rain or shine. Click here for our inclement weather policy.
