SUMMARY:Fifty Ways to Die
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]People have sought to honor the memory of departed loved ones since ancient times\, but the 19th century ushered in a new era of funerary art.

New money meant bigger and bolder memorials to reflect the social status and power of prominent families. This tour explores the origin and use of popular Oakland grave markers\, including tombs and towering monuments\, obelisks and angels\, and many magnificent mausoleums. Discover how architectural and design choices made during life created a lasting and eternal legacy for many Oakland residents.  \nThis tour starts at the Main Gate (main entrance at Oakland Avenue and MLK Jr. Drive) at 10:30 a.m. Please arrive a few minutes early to check in at the volunteer desk inside the Visitor Center (located in the parking lot) before meeting at the Main Gate.  \nSpaces are limited\, so we recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]Get Your Tickets Here [/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Historic Oakland Foundation Members  \nHistoric Oakland Foundation memberships include free tickets for special topic tours.

Check-in begins 30 minutes prior to the tour time. Your tour includes a complimentary wine or beer.
