Have you ever thought about the similarities between cemetery sections and neighborhoods? They each have boundaries, people are within proximity to one another, and there is a combined history of those who inhabit the area. In just a single section of Laurel Hill West, Franconia, there are enough stories of famous Philadelphians to make an entire tour. On this tour, you will meet musicians, athletes, industrialists, civil rights leaders, and a Titanic survivor- all within just one section of the many dozens at Laurel Hill West.

This tour is a very short walk from the Funeral Home and will primarily stay on paved paths.
