A student from Los Angeles, who was tasked with creating a social media account from scratch, decided to mix two of her interests into one unlikely video series: cooking and cemeteries. She first found a recipe on a gravestone and baked it, and then another. Before long, recreating people’s favorite recipes, which are inscribed on their graves, became a beautiful way to share their memories.
Rosie Grant is a digital librarian in Los Angeles, California. As a library science student at the University of Maryland in 2021, she decided to start a TikTok account about cemeteries to fulfill a class assignment. During this time, Grant was also interning at a cemetery as a part of her field study for the master’s program.
