Nature in a Victorian Cemetery

Naturalism played a pivotal role in Victorian culture- in the living world and in that of the dead. Today our cemeteries continue this legacy. View Laurel Hill West with a naturalist’s eye on this walking tour that stops at some of our arboretum’s stately trees, deciphers the floral symbolism in stones and makes a visit to our award-winning green burial ground, Nature’s Sanctuary.
