The WXXI program guide describes it as An idiosyncratic tour of U.S. burial grounds, by producer-narrator Rick Sebak.
Included are historic sites, cemeteries with interesting landscaping, and the final resting places of notables.
One of the featured places is Waterloo, the Birthplace of Memorial Day. Bauders unit provided a living history encampment on Memorial Day weekend, when the production company filmed, and he was asked to talk about the history of Memorial Day.
A native of Waterloo, Bauder has been a Civil War re-enactor for nine years.
