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 feature A short walking tour of the historic Lindell section of Bellefontaine Cemetery followed by a reenactment of an 1860s funeral, procession and burial service.

This is a free event. There are three different tour times from which you can choose. Registration is required, so please check back later to sign up!
