Tours are held regularly, beginning in April and ending in November. Specialty tours are also available through The Valentine. If you are planning a group tour, please be sure to contact the cemetery in advance so our office can provide your group with a packet of information, including parking instructions, funeral schedules, and tour route maps. Due to COVID-19, certain adjustments have been made to our tour schedule and options. Please see our COVID-19 protocols page for the most up-to-date information.
