Don't miss this special program with Easton Cemetery . Gravesites from 1700s to the Present on Saturday, September 12, 10:00am - 11:00am at the Main Library.

Gravestones have changed over the years for a variety of reasons. Tony Moore, Funeral Service Educator Program Director, returns to the Library and will talk about the changes in gravestones over the years. He will discuss the costs, the development and design of grave markers, including the historical significance of cradle (French Garden) graves.

Ed Dougherty, preservationist from Oaklands Cemetery, will talk about ongoing care of gravestones, with an emphasis on cradle (French Garden) graves and their restoration. His talk will include cleaning and preserving grave markers as well as repair techniques and the importance of cemetery conservation.

This free program is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Library and Friends of Historic Easton Cemetery. Registration is recommended.

Join us for a Death Café, a welcoming and respectful conversation about death, dying, and the experiences that shape our lives. Thursday, September 10, 6:00pm at the Main Library. Over coffee, tea, and light refreshments, participants are invited to share thoughts, questions, and perspectives in an open, judgment-free environment.

There is no agenda, presentation, or expectation to reach conclusions—just an opportunity for meaningful discussion about a topic that touches everyone. While our Death Café is not a support group or counseling session, it is instead a community conversation designed to increase awareness of death and help us make the most of our lives. Refreshments sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

Registration encouraged.
