Frequently asked questions

Is there a lot of walking?

The area the tour takes place in is small but there are very limited places to rest and the ground is uneven. The cemetery is very interesting and we encourage you to explore it after the tour.

Is there a restroom?

The cemetery office has a restroom that is generally available but we cannot guarantee it will be available to the public during the tour.

Where should I park?

Please park behind the cemetery office. The roads are narrow, the cemetery has very explicitly asked us to park in the lot behind their office to avoid disrupting burial processions.
