Take a tour of Laurel Hill East from the comfort of your own home via Zoom! Our expert guides offer unique perspectives to bring the cemetery’s permanent residents back to life through images and engrossing stories. Every month features a different presentation.

October’s topic:
Egyptomania swept the world after the Rosetta Stone’s translation in 1822. Obelisks and Egyptian temple-like mausoleums were popping up in cemeteries everywhere. Learn about the meanings that Victorian culture ascribed to these ancient symbols when adorning tombs with them.
