Join us for a discussion about the surprising history of cemetery design, the style trends that have evolved over the last few centuries and find out exactly what cemetery style Las Vegas’s own historic Woodlawn Cemetery falls under. Along the way we’ll reveal the story of early Las Vegas as told through the headstones of its pioneering residents who call Woodlawn their final resting place, unveiling the tales of those who shaped Las Vegas’ vibrant history and witness how burials continue here over 100 years later.
