An artful afterlife at New York's celebrity graveyard

Article Abstract:

New York's Woodlawn Cemetery is the most posh burial place in the US, as nowhere else do so many grandiose mausoleums for Gilded Age titans loom beside tourist-attracting headstones for composers, dignitaries, scientists, soldiers. Even as neoclassicism dominates the stone exteriors of Woodlawn's mausoleums from its 1890-1920 heyday, ever more mosaic, sculpture, stained glass, and ironwork onsite are being attributed to the likes of Louis Comfort Tiffany and Samuel Yellin.
