No, I'm not recommending Green-wood as a place to inter your loved ones--you'll have to ask someone else for advice on that. But this 478-acre parklike place is America's third great pastoral cemetery, after Mt. Auburn in Boston/Cambridge and Laurel Hill in Philadelphia. Take a tour, or buy a booklet for a self-guided tour, see the astonishing stonework, and absorb the history of Brooklyn and the famous New Yorkers who are enternally resting here.
