The Friends of Mount Auburn is excited to announce the publication of its long antici­
pated photographic portrait of the Cemetery. During the past two decades, Richard
Cheek has painstakingly explored Mount Auburn’s landscape, capturing its most iconic
and celebrated views as well as its more intimate corners and hidden details. Mount
Auburn Cemetery: Beauty on the Edge of Eternity celebrates the mood and spirit of this ex­
traordinary place, as seen through Cheek’s stunning photographs. In addition to the
vivid imagery showing the Cemetery in all four seasons, this 164­page hardcover book
includes a foreword written by Dave Barnett, President & CEO of Mount Auburn, an
introduction by Bill Clendaniel, President Emeritus, and short chapter introductions by
historian Janet Heywood, former Vice President of Interpretive Programs.
A limited supply of books will arrive just in time for the holiday season.
Order today to reserve your copy by calling 617-607-1980
or visiting us online at www.mountauburn.org/BeautyOnTheEdge
Richard Cheek will also be signing books at the Reception following our
Candle Lighting Service on Tuesday, December 18th.
Copies of the book will be available for sale during the event.
