Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Sarapin, a founding member of the New Jersey Graveyard Preservation Society, provides comprehensive and enthusiastic insight into historic and notable burial grounds. The book has two distinct parts. The first is an introduction to the traditions and customs of burying the dead, as well as assorted folklore and legends. While some general overview is offered, the emphasis is upon New Jersey and the region. The second part is a guide to 127 selected burial grounds in all 21 counties and includes specific points of interest. The liberal use of graphics and maps makes this an attractive and useful volume. While the book is not going to command a broad audience, this is a highly readable effort that is appropriate for both public libraries in the New Jersey region as well as college libraries supporting this type of historical collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old Busirla Grounds of New Jersey: A Guide, April 21, 2000
By Kenneth Matto (Whiting, NJ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an excellent resource for not only finding the old burial grounds in NJ but the explanations of the different funerary art and customs that Janet Sarapin details along with the approriate pictures as a pictorial guide. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to know more about the old burial grounds and their history. These old burial grounds are also a living history of our country.
