Death in New York: Extended Daylight Tour

Immerse yourself in New York’s rich history of death, burial, epidemics, and execution on this in-depth 2.75-hour tour (based on the book Death in New York) exploring Battery Park, the Financial District, Tribeca, the Civic Center, and Chinatown.


This extended walking tour with Purefinder New York traces the layered story of how death has shaped the infrastructure, values, and rituals of New York City. From indigenous burials to body-snatching riots and modern funeral commerce, this is a ground-level look at the city’s evolving relationship with mortality.


It’s not about ghosts or gimmicks; it’s about forgotten cemeteries, epidemics, identity, and the political legacy of the dead beneath our feet.
