Pet Cemeteries Lecture

“If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.”

“His behavior was of the highest order.”

These are some of the sweet and heartbreaking messages on tombstones for beloved pets. This lecture will take you on a “tour” of some of the oldest pet cemeteries in the US and abroad. You will meet some pets of celebrities and celebrity pets, exotic and weird pets, as well as naval and war heroes buried in the cemeteries. You’ll learn a little history on the founding of some of the pet cemeteries, as well as some of the “secret” pet burials in human cemeteries in a heartbreaking and heartwarming lecture.

Marie Carter is an NYC-based writer and tour guide who hails from Scotland. She is a tour guide with Boroughs of the Dead, a macabre and ghostly historical walking tour company. She designed and leads the tour “Haunting Histories and Legends of Astoria.” She is also the author ofThe Trapeze Diaries and the novel, Holly’s Hurricane. Please check out her tours at www.boroughsofthedead.com and writing at www.mariewritesandedits.com.
