Tis the season for trimming. A big thank you to our horticultural staff for making our sister cemeteries feel festive & bright!

In 2019, we planted 6,000 daffodil bulbs, piloted a new volunteer gardener program and planted 80 new trees in the ground at Laurel Hill. We’ve also reset 800 headstones. Help us continue the beautification of the grounds by contributing to our Annual Fund at https://thelaurelhillcemetery.org/support/annual-fund. #LaurelHill #WestLaurelHill #PhillySupportsPhilly

This Saturday, we have two walking tours available! Hot Spots and Storied Plots departs at 10 am and will feature an informative overview of Laurel Hill’s long and colorful history. Transplanted Souls: An Another Try at Eternal Rest will depart at 1 pm and identify the sites of citizens who have been moved from their original burial places to a second (and sometimes a third) try at eternal rest at Laurel Hill Cemetery. Come out and enjoy one of our walking tours. https://thelaurelhillcemetery.org/events
