Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Hope Cemetery was originally founded and built in 1895, with an original size of 53 acres, and has tombstones designed and crafted by artisans from all over the world. At the time it was common for these artists to succumb to a respiratory disease caused by granite dust, and when the Spanish flu hit the area it became a habit for artists to create their own ornate tombstones to showcase their skills. These days, the cemetery has grown to 65 acres and is home to more than 10,000 tombstones, many of which feature elaborate designs and carvings. Guests can book a tour through the cemetery to learn some of the history, or simply walk through it at their own leisure to see the memorials.
