Key West Cemetery

  • July 3, 2006

Key West Cemetery

There are maps available at local stores to guide you through the quirky oddities of the cemetery. It took us about 2 hours to walk around and see the sights. Granted, that was with children. There are many odd stones to see and many of them have a sense of humor. The cemetery is old and some stones are cracking, breaking, uplifting, etc. With flooding a major concern, many of the burial vaults, tombs, etc. are above ground. Items such as Roberts' "I told you I was sick" headstone, military memorials, vampire vaults, and one unidentifiable stone (a tree has grown around it) are just a few of the sights to see. If you are looking for a nice walk or bike ride, the cemetery is a change of pace.

Key West Old Cemetery

At Key West Cemetery, see gravestones of people who lived to be 108 years old and served in the Spanish American War. See nature reclaiming the burial spaces of the great and powerful of their time. See the Cuban/Latin influence of the way the dead are treated and revered. See whole branches of families and men who have died at 23 with a wife and children. See the remarkable and unremarkable final resting places of the people of Key West.
