Sometimes, nature is our cathedral, our church, our place of congregation and remembrance. Seen here, an intimate service soon to be held under the peaceful, reassuring limbs of a weeping beechwood tree. 📸 @commonrite_deathcare #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery

One of four statues comprising the Civil War Soldier’s Monument—a tribute to the “heroic dead” who enlisted in service from Brooklyn—looks out from atop Battle Hill, towards the metropolis of today. 📸 @mikesspics #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery

LAST CHANCE! This Sunday, November 17th, marks your final chance to view—and contribute to—Green-Wood’s Día de los Difunto ofrenda, KARANAKUY, by artist Raul Ayala. Over the weeks, so many have visited the installation, itself an invitation to engage through their senses, using plants, fruits, and culinary traditions from the Andes. To all who have left an offering of photos, flowers, and mementos upon the community altar, thank you for adding meaning to this annual tradition. 📸 1️⃣ @crissachappell; 2️⃣ @naomisterns #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery

John LaFarge (1835-1910) was one of America’s greatest 19th-century artists: painter, pioneer of American stained glass (and competitor of Louis Comfort Tiffany, also at Green-Wood), and a great designer of mosaics. Following his death on November 14, 1910, LaFarge was interred in his family’s mausoleum, a beautiful mix of materials: brownstone, slate, and pink granite columns. 📸 The LaFarge Family Mausoleum, at right in this circa 1865 photograph via the Royal Institute of British Architects Library @riba #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery #brooklyn
