From the earliest memorials used by Native Americans to the elaborate structures of the present day, Richard Veit and Mark Nonestied use grave markers to take an offbeat look at New Jerseys history that is both fascinating and unique.New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones presents a culturally diverse account of New Jerseys historic burial places from High Point to Cape May and from the banks of the Delaware to the oceanwashed Shore, to explain what cemeteries tell us about people and the communities in which they lived. The evidence ranges from somber seventeenthcentury decorations such as hourglasses and skulls that denoted the brevity of colonial life, to modern times where memorials, such as a lifesize granite Mercedes Benz, reflect the materialism of the new millennium. Also considered are contemporary novelties such as pet cemeteries and what they reveal about todays culture. To tell their story the authors visited more than 1,000 burial grounds and interviewed numerous monument dealers and cemetarians.This richly illustrated book is essential reading for history buffs and indeed anyone who has ever wandered inquisitively through their local cemeteries.
