An Introduction to America's Most Metal Cemetery

The Most Holy Trinity Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York, is home to acres of metal gravestones. Since its founding in 1851, the cemetery has fallen victim to the elements. Hollow monuments of tin, copper, and other metals have corroded and even been stolen over the years. Ella Morton and Caitlin Doughty from The Order of the Good Death discuss the cemetery, its wholesome intentions, and ultimate decay.
