Tuesday Trivia - What do you call a man-made pile (or stack) of stones built as a memorial or landmark? This word comes from the Scottish Gaelic tongue and you can see monuments resembling them throughout Laurel Hill.

A life that touches others goes on forever. Thank you for sharing your dream, Martin Luther King Jr.

Interesting equipment can be found on the grounds during the resetting of gravestones!

In life and in death, we all have stories to tell and what better place to hear tales of wonder than Philadelphia’s most famous home of the dead? Those stories will be told at 1 pm on Saturday at Laurel Hill's Hot Spots and Storied Plots tour led by our tour guide Jacquie Mahon. www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org/events

We spied a sunbather in the cemetery!

Trivia Tuesday! What is the name of this flower that is blooming in the cemetery right now?
