Millar highlights the “best” graveyards in each province, the most popular epitaphs, the most original grave raphs, the book also provides interesting observations on graveyard architecture, Indian burial customs, and the variations in epitaphs among religions, genders, races, and provinces. So join Nancy Millar, Canada’s Tombstone Tourist, for an engaging and unusual look at our history.”
