Amazing evening cemetery tour!!

Had an evening tour with Zelda; she was amazing! Fun personality and gave our group a lot of insight to the cemetery, crypts and history. Highly recommended. Thanks, Dan A. - from Wisconsin.

ZELDA is the BEST guide

Zelda was a fantastic guide. She has lived the cemetery her entire life, so her stories include experiences from when she was a little girl who lived in the neighborhood. The nighttime tour is the way to go this time of year - still hot, but better without the sun beating down. Also more atmospheric.

Enlightening Tour

Zelda is an excellent storyteller! She is very informative, personal tidbits to tell some of the stories, and funny. It is not a “ghost” tour, but a fact-based tour that is very interesting. Highly recommend!!! But do pick up a fan that is offered on the counter to try to move some air while you walk!
