Cemetery Wedding Trend Grows

Till death do us part is a serious vow which some New Yorkers are theming their big day around.

City-based couples are turning to graveside weddings on mass saying the solitude and leafy surroundings of the cemeteries are ticking all the right boxes. Others find it romantic that husbands and wives are laid to rest beside each other for eternity.

Places like New York Marble Cemetery, which charges $2,500 for a wedding, are now classed as hip venues despite their 156 vaulted rooms for the dead.

Gothamist writer and New York City groom-to-be, Garth Johnston, told the MailOnline: "There were a number of reasons why we chose the New York Marble Cemetery - a major one being how difficult it can be to find such a large, private green space in Manhattan."

The location, hidden between Second Avenue and Bowery, contains no gravestones just vaults of bodies that are labelled on brick walls.

'It was also attractive to us because we were quite familiar with it and its caretakers - I actually grew up in a house that overlooks it. So yeah, not worried about the deceased,' he commented to the website.
