SUMMARY:Cemetery Symbolism Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Every gravestone tells a story—if you know how to read it.\n\n\n\n\n\nStep into the rich visual language of the Victorian-era cemetery and uncover the meanings hidden in Mount Auburn’s landscape that shaped 19th-century memorial art and mourning culture. \nTogether\, we’ll examine how changing attitudes toward death\, remembrance\, religion\, and nature influenced the design of monuments and landscapes in America’s garden cemeteries. Along the way\, participants will learn to “read” gravestones and memorials while gaining insight into the social and cultural values of the era. \nPerfect for newcomers and longtime cemetery enthusiasts alike\, this hour-long twilight walk offers an accessible introduction to the meanings and artistry behind cemetery symbolism. \nComfortable walking shoes recommended. \nCheck-in outside Story Chapel \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn. Our robust roster of programs each year is made possible by the generous support of our donors and in part by theMassachusetts Cultural Council. \nFor inquiries about accessibility\, to request an accommodation\, or if you have any questions about your membership\, please contact friends@mountauburn.org. \nMount Auburn is proud to participate in MCC’s Card to Culture Program. Click here to learn more. \nRefund Policy: \nRefunds and exchanges for events at Mount Auburn Cemetery are available up to 5 business days prior to the event.* Cancellations made after this deadline are not eligible for a refund and the order amount will be donated to support future programs and initiatives. \nIf Mount Auburn Cemetery decides to cancel an event\, all ticket holders will be notified and automatically refunded. \n*This policy excludes special events.
