All the years I've been coming to Key West, never knew about this remarkably interesting cemetery and the history of the people buried there. Nice memorial & section to veterans But unfortunately some of the tombstones are in bad condition or broken. Still worth walking around, couple blocks from Duval Street. And as usual the chickens 🐔 everywhere.

If you start at the sexton house you can find a free map to help guide you to about 50 of the local residents and there stories about how they helped/develop and change Key West. The cemetery is filled with headstones, monuments, markers, tombs and obelisk of many different shapes and sizes. Some old and worn ~ while others are new and grand and well maintained. But no matter where you are you will find more WILDLIFE in this one block than the whole island.

We came here to see the funny epitaphs. It is a large cemetery - make your life easier and go to the main entrance and pick up a free map, otherwise you will be just wandering. We were able to bike around the cemetery to see most of the highlighted graves.

We visited the graveyard as I had seen some stories about it. The day was really hot so didn’t stay to walk around it all. The place is kept very tidy and there were workmen doing some maintenance work at the same time. The history is amazing with graves laid facing different directions and the mix of different faiths. The various statues and designs are fascinating. Plus, I was delighted to see the lovely iguanas too. I do if possible to visit local churches etc. Will definitely see again if we visit key West in the future.
