Consolations of Memory

  • Bellefontaine Cemetery 4947 West Florissant Avenue St Louis, MO 63115 (map)

Consolations of Memory isn’t quite like all the other fall cemetery tours. Rather than portraying the spirits of those buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery we portray the living, breathing people of the era who were left behind to mourn the loss of a loved one.

This year’s event will include a short walking tour of the Lindell section of the cemetery followed by 19th century funeral service in Hotchkiss Chapel, burial procession and graveside service.

This is a free event but registration is required through Bellefontaine Cemetery. Registration will open by September 2024.
