Back then, cemeteries sometimes got so crowded that tickets were required for admission. Today cemeteries aren't quite so popular and full of people, but they are still valuable and often beautiful places full of surprises and stories of all sorts. So, several burial places from Key West to Fairbanks are celebrated in a new public television documentary titled "A Cemetery Special." A second broadcast of the program has been scheduled for Monday, October 31 at 10:00 p.m. ET on many stations. (check local listings.) "The big problem with cemeteries," said producer and narrator Rick Sebak, "is that they are everywhere. People take great pride in their local cemeteries and often have special affection for the places where their loved ones are buried, but there are too many interesting and important burial places. That's one of the reasons why we decided to call this 'A Cemetery Special' rather than 'The Cemetery Special.' We couldn't be comprehensive. We squeeze nine cemeteries into one hour." "A Cemetery Special" includes a tour of several great "rural garden cemeteries" including Allegheny in Pittsburgh (where a family finds its long lost Uncle E.Z.), Mount Auburn in Boston (the first of the great American cemeteries) and Lake View in Cleveland (where there's a mighty memorial to President James A.
