Our most asked-about tour is back for 2025! Join us for an intimate walk through the history, architecture, family stories, and yes, interiors of private mausoleums at Elmwood Cemetery. Learn about the burial trend that swept high society in the late 19th Century and how the private mausoleum upended traditional rural cemetery landscape design. Get an up-close (and, where possible, inside) look at the construction and craftsmanship of these architectural treasures and reflect on how above-ground burial practices have persisted and changed. We open up four private mausoleums for you to step inside. You've never seen keys (or doors) like these in your life.

It's The Mausoleums Tour, and you won't want to miss it. By popular demand, we're offering an additional time slot this year, but group size is limited so we can get in and out of the buildings more easily. Don't miss out!
