This 2-hour stroll through the cemetery will be led by one of our Volunteer Master Guides who will convey highlights of the cemetery grounds, horticulture and a variety of intriguing historic figures who call Bellefontaine their last address. Particular attention will be paid to the Horticulture side of the cemetery while in different levels of bloom during these Spring tours. ♦ A limited number of registrations for the tour are available so reservations are required. ♦ Two-hour walking tours cover about 2 miles across moderate terrain. ♦ Please wear appropriate walking attire. ♦ We ask that everyone arrive between 15 to 20 minutes before tour time for a prompt departure. ♦ Tours are free, however, donations to the Friends of Bellefontaine Cemetery are gratefully accepted. ♦ Well behaved dogs on leashes are allowed on walking tours.

Curious about green burial but don't know what or who to ask? Join Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum's Green Burial expert, Gracie Griffin, as she provides a closer look at green burial practices, dispels myths, and explores some exciting and fascinating options available throughout the world. You will learn about the range of "green" funeral and cemetery options available today- like being "planted" in a meadow or amongst the trees, what one can expect when choosing a green service, and the environmental benefits of green burial as compared to cremation and traditional burial. This one hour presentation with a Q&A to follow will be held in at Hotchkiss Chapel at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum. Green arrow signs will lead you from our main entrance at 4947 W. Florissant  Ave. to the chapel.
