Ever wonder why there are so many Urns on top of headstones? Notice all of those pointy obelisks and floral motifs that adorn burial markers? Have you ever seen a headstone resembling a tree trunk or a log? Each communicates a different sentiment, idea, and identity. Start your morning with a guided walk through Lone Tree Cemetery to learn more about cemetery iconography, symbolism, and the cultures that have shaped them.

Meet in front of Mausoleum 2, located behind the cemetery office. Recommended for ages 14+. More information about the 2025 tour schedule is available here.
