Alongside your expert guide Allison Meier, you’ll explore elegantly adorned gravesites to better understand the messages conveyed through roses, lilies, pansies, and other blooms. Whether you seek to deepen your understanding of Victorian mourning customs or simply to appreciate the artistry of memorialization, this tour is not to be missed!
