The itinerary:
- Our motor coach tour heads south on Tombstone Tour 2012 as we explore cemeteries and honor the lives and contributions of Omaha's departed. We'll start at one of the city's oldest burial sites - Laurel Hill Cemetery near 21st & Polk streets. We'll discover unique aspects of St. Mary's and St. Mary Magdalene's cemeteries before heading west to the Bohemian Cemetery and Westlawn-Hillcrest. Refreshments provided - we'll toast the memory of those who have gone before us. Your tour guide will regale you with cryptic commentary, plus you'll receive a souvenir booklet on cemetery history.
