Books like Death in New York by K. Krombie


In New York, death has long reflected the city’s skin of cultures and controversies. Immigration poured hands on burial rites, and archaeological digs have recovered graves of indigenous Lenape people and enslaved Africans. Over the centuries, the city’s medical community was driven to reform after body snatching scandals, culminating in the 1788 Doctors’ Riot that demanded new protections for the deceased. Epidemics and overcrowding spurred the creation of the “Cemetery Belt,” a sprawling web of multi-faith burial grounds across Brooklyn and Queens. Meanwhile, New York’s medical experiments in embalming, the grim realities of capital punishment, and the burgeoning death‑handling industry all weave into a stark portrait of how the metropolis has dealt with the dead.
