Do all tours contain the same content?

While some tours may highlight similar stories, not all tours are the same. You are welcome to attend multiple cemetery tours throughout the season and are sure to learn something new from the different cemetery tour guides.

I missed the registration cutoff, can I still attend?

Yes, we save spaces for walk-up participants! Space is not guaranteed but we have rarely had to turn anyone away.

Is there parking in the cemetery?

There is limited parking available beside Galloway House. If possible, we ask that you park along Spiller Road to save the limited spaces for those who require them and those visiting passed loved ones at the cemetery.

Are tours suitable for all ages?

Yes, our guides are excellent at sharing the stories of those who have passed in a sensitive manner and adjusting language to suit the audience. However, parental guidance is suggested if attending a tour with a younger participant.
