About Me
Cemetery profiles have become one of my writing specialties. It was my career as a funeral director that sparked my interest in cemeteries, and exploring them has become one of my favorite pastimes. Cemeteries are places of peace, serenity, and tradition. They are also places of continued connection to our loved ones, to history, and to our community. What’s more, they contain a wealth of untold stories; stories I have told –and continue to tell– through my writing. I have also served as a cemetery tour guide, and delight in introducing others to what I’ve learned in the cemetery.
