Episode notes

Emma: Think of it as kind of like a final warm bath as you tuck into your eternal bedtime. How do you feel around holloween when people set up prop graveyards on their lawns? Em, what are some things that you've seen in historical maybe a little bit creepy, tombstones?" I mean, i love it, but ly be the person walking around being like, that's not accurate"

Bidding farewell to the sweetest and spookiest month, we traipse past graves with archeologist, conservator and Taphologist Robyn Lacy. What’s the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery? Is it wrong to picnic in one? And can tombstone scrubbing help the world and soothe your living soul? Plus, font trends on headstones, old-timey gravestone emojis, a coffin-within-a-coffin, the best epitaphs and knowing the difference between slate, marble, and granite monuments. To celebrate Halloween, stop by the cemetery gates to do zinckies with your best ghosties. (That will make sense later.)
