Please join WEAVE ST. LOUIS members and friends for a guided tour of Bellefontaine Cemetery, followed by a late lunch/snack at a local restaurant. Feel free to bring friends! RSVP by clicking the "Yes" button below.
During the tour, sponsored by the St. Louis Mourning Society, guests will learn about tragic events in St. Louis' history, funeral and burial practices, and how the dead were remembered by those left behind to mourn. The tour is followed immediately by a funeral reenactment, procession, and burial service.
After the tour, we will gather at a local restaurant, TBA, to enjoy some food and conversation. We will talk about what it is like to live in our north city, and how to build community wherever we are - and will just generally get to know one another better.
