A New England woman says cleaning graves and giving the dead their names back is her 'therapeutic' outlet

24 Aug 2021 9:31 AM | IJCSA - (Administrator)

Spooky season is starting early this year with TikTok's latest obsession: gravestone cleaning. 

For Caitlin Abrams, a software developer in Vermont who volunteers to clean gravestones in her spare time, working alongside the dead is a "therapeutic" escape. 

"The other day I was super hyped up and anxious about something and for my lunch break from work I was like, 'Going to go clean a grave' and I did because it's very meditative," she told Insider. 

A side by side of two screenshots of videos from Caitlin Abrams' TikTok account, left showing her smiling in front of a cemetery and right scrubbing down a headstone.

Abrams, who goes by @manicpixiemom on TikTok, has over 1.3 million followers tuning into her gravestone-cleaning videos where she tells stories about the people buried beneath. Her most popular TikTok, delving into the life of an 11-week-old baby called Silas Reed who died from "lung fever," has over 30 million views at the time of writing.
