A Grave Affair is a cemetery engagement and education practice dedicated to helping people and organizations understand cemeteries as places of history, memory, and ongoing community life. The work centers on thoughtful cemetery tourism, responsible storytelling, and public engagement that respects both the dead and the living. Rather than treating cemeteries as static spaces, A Grave Affair approaches them as cultural landscapes shaped by care, ethics, and trust.

Through A Grave Affair, Ashlynn develops educational resources, mentorship programs, and consulting services that support meaningful interaction with cemeteries. This includes tools for the general public interested in cemetery tourism, career mentorship for individuals exploring or advancing within cemetery and deathcare professions, and strategic guidance for cemeteries seeking to build sustainable, mission-aligned engagement programs.

At its core, A Grave Affair reflects a belief that cemeteries can serve as outdoor museums, classrooms, and spaces for reflection when approached with intention. The practice brings together professional experience in cemetery leadership, public history, and engagement work to offer grounded, practical support for those navigating how cemeteries are visited, interpreted, and stewarded today.
