We went here after finding a free self guided walking tour map online. They offer tours 2x a week, but you need to call and find out when they're offering them. The local phone number is [--].

The sign said that it was closed at 6PM, but we were there until well after that and the gates were still open.

We walked about 1/3 of the cemetery and spent about an hour doing that. Some of graves are sinking into the ground. I'm guessing that maybe 20% of the graves are unmarked. Not that we normally visit cemeteries, but this was really interesting. It's amazing how much detail they go into with some of the graves and how large some of them are. You'll be able to identify the mason's graves easily.

We rode our bikes one morning to the Key West Cemetery. It was really cool. Some of the headstones are awesome. One says, "See, I told you I was sick".

We visit the Cemetary where ever we go and thought the cemetary in Key West rather unique. Because, we went on Sunday there were no attendants collecting an entrance fee. Many of the stones are sinking into the ground. Many of the tombs are cracked and broken. Many times we felt our feet sort of sinking into the wet grass. If going to a cemetary is your thing, then its worth the visit. Would be a very creepy place, especially at night if not surrounded by neighboring homes.

It's weird saying that a cemetery is beautiful, but I don't know how else to explain it. We went in the middle of the day, which I don't advise doing. It was way to hot to be hiking around. But the place was amazing. I had seem all kinds of pictures of a stone that read " I Told You I Was Sick" and I just had to see it for myself. Well it's not really a headstone, it's on a tomb with other markings for other people, kinda in the back. The place was great though. But go in the morning.

We toured the cemetery on a recent visit to Key West. Although the cemetery is certainly very old and the wind and salt air doesn't help, the cemetery is in deplorable shape. Broken stones and statues, some graves had been covered over with asphalt, broken fences around family plots, and the grounds were unkept. It's truly sad that those in Key West who are responsible for this final resting place allows for its condition. While we found our visit interesting and educational, we were extremely disappointed in the condition of the overall cemetery.
