Laurel Grove South Cemetery — Local services in Savannah

This cemetery has a South & a North side, I would do some research and decide if you want to visit both. I spent a few hrs visiting a historic cemetery which has a slave burial ground area. They also have a few burial sections for the unknown thru out. The cool thing is you can drive thru most of it, streets are clearly marked. They could do a better job taking care of the grounds. Some of the other well known cemeteries have tours, guides and well take care of...

I love going to old cemeteries and wandering around, most of them have so much history. They don't have a office like some of the well known cemeteries with staff. Upon entering the grounds they do have maps and a few thing marked. My advice would be go online and look at a few reviews to get more info if you are looking for something specific. Even the maps need to be redone. Things should be clearly marked, its history.

The area is very sketchy and not safe after the sun goes down. Many homeless people live in the park nearby that cut through here often as a shortcut. The Laurel Grove North Cemetery feels much safer and appears to be in...
