About this Event

Join Grace Robbins, former Visitor Services Ambassador at Graceland Cemetery, for an engaging walking tour designed for those curious about the basics of cemetery culture and design! 🏛🌿


Coimetromania's inaugural tour at Graceland Cemetery offers a comprehensive introduction to the elements that make cemeteries a unique intersection of history, art, and nature.

Uncover the essentials of cemetery layout, from the significance of its pathways to the symbolism behind monument styles and funerary art. Learn how landscape design and ecological considerations play a crucial role in creating serene and respectful resting places. Explore the different types of graves and their functions, and see how these elements come together to honor and remember the departed.

As we walk through the grounds, you'll also learn about some of Chicago’s most influential figures who rest here, enhancing your understanding of how cemeteries serve as guardians of history. This tour is not just a visit; it’s an educational journey perfect for beginners eager to appreciate the intricacies of cemetery design and history, led by a cemetarian with hands-on experience in these sacred spaces.

Join us to gain a foundational understanding of what makes cemeteries such fascinating places of community, remembrance, and reflection. 💀🖤
