DESCRIPTION

If there’s one county in the United States that deserves its own cemetery book, it’s New York's Queens County.

With millions of burials in a stunning array of cemeteries of all faiths and sizes dating from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, Queens’ burial grounds reflect the diversity and indeed the very story of New York City itself.

Dead Queens is a visual journey through more than thirty of the borough's cemeteries in 220 fascinating photographs.
