Uncover histories hidden in the symbols and signs on our stones. Learn some basic symbols and monument styles that have been used over the centuries to artfully express bereavement for loved ones. Cemeteries often serve as historical and cultural repositories, and the symbols present on tombstones can provide insights into the beliefs, values, and lives of the people buried there. Who is the "mourning woman" found on many monuments? What does a pair of clasped hands or a laurel wreath symbolize? What is used to signify a life cut short? Once you understand these universal symbols, explore this and other cemeteries on your own. Embark on a journey through time, discover hidden stories, and unlock the secrets of cemetery symbolism with us. This tour is perfect for history buffs, art and architcture enthusiasts, families and anyone interested in learning about the mysteries hidden within Forest Home Cemetery. About your guide Jennifer Christ is retired from a career in teaching and in lay professional ministry. She currently volunteers as a docent at the Milwaukee Art Museum as well as at Forest Home Cemetery.

Our tour guides have a lot to share and are on a tight timeline, so please try to stick together.    The Forest Home Avenue gate is not open on Sundays, so please use the Lincoln Avenue gate.    Parking is free and available throughout the cemetery on Sundays. There is plenty of parking around the chapel on both sides of the road. Please park on the side of the road in a way that doesn’t prevent cars from passing.    Please arrive about 10 minutes before your tour. Meet at Halls of History (the building next to the main office inside the Lincoln Avenue entrance).    Check in with your guide. You do not need to bring your paper ticket.    This tour will run rain or shine and will only be canceled in the event of dangerous weather. Tickets are non-refundable.    If you enjoy your tour, please take a moment afterward to review us on Google or TripAdvisor.    Proceeds from all tours and events help preserve and enhance the historical and natural elements of the cemetery.  About Forest Home Cemetery & Arboretum Established in 1850, Forest Home Cemetery is Milwaukee’s oldest-operating cemetery, open to people of all faiths, races and backgrounds since its inception.
