Bonaventure Cemetery is a sacred place open for everyone to enjoy its beauty. Please keep this cemetery etiquette in mind as you tour with us, another company or self-tour. Not just for Bonaventure, this etiquette is essential to follow in any cemetery. |
1. Cemeteries are collections of privately owned outdoor sculpture. Please stay in the designated walkways, off cemetery lots and do not touch any memorials or artifacts. |
2. Appreciate the memorials as they are. Do not add to, take away from, or modify a memorial in any way, even if you have exceptionally good taste. If it’s not yours, don’t touch it. |
3. Show respect for the dead and for their surviving families and loved ones. Do not intrude on funeral or memorial services. Do not bring alcohol, firearms, or offensive items into cemeteries. Always be considerate of others. |
4. Well-behaved children under the direct supervision of responsible adults are welcome. Teach your children to respect cemeteries. Running, playing, and noisy activities are not appropriate in cemeteries. |
5. Keep your pets under your control on a leash away from cemetery memorials and artifacts. Clean up after your pets. |
6. Enjoy the natural peace and serenity of the cemetery. Do not litter (this includes cigarette butts) and do not interfere with the plants and wildlife that inhabit the site. |
7. Keep your vehicle on designated roadways or in parking areas. Idling vehicle engines can be harmful to historical structures. Please do not block cemetery roadways. |
| 8. Know the rules and regulations and abide by them. Respectful group activities, tours, and special events must be registered in advance. Promptly report any suspicious activities to management. |
