Laurel Grove North Cemetery

I personally think this is the most beautiful cemetery in Savanah area. The mausoleums and monuments are stunning. Walking through here i feel like I'm in another world, a very very old and beautiful one. Don't miss this place, you will absolutely regret it.

Another one of Savannah beautiful and historic cemetery. If you get a chance explore them all. Some of them you can get guided tours or just walk around yourself. They are prime examples of southern beauty. History buffs and ghosts seekers must see!

I love this cemetery dearly. You must go to find out why, and please book a tour with Shannon Scott Tours. A quick online search will reflect what everyone else is saying -- you won’t regret it! Laurel Grove North is far less trespassed than most tourist areas in Savannah, and therefore, a real gem. The decaying, sculptural and delicate beauty of it all is otherworldly and truly breathtaking. It is a peaceful, mesmerizing place. You could walk around for hours only wishing you had more time, so make it count! Take a tour with someone who can share Savannah's greatest stories, introduce you to her most charming characters, and leave you planning your next trip back! If you like to travel where few others have gone and learn from the best, look no further. Photography by Alissa Lee Nicholson.

While Bonaventure is considered the cemetery celebrity, Laurel Grove is arguably the local's favorite. Its also the only true Victorian Era cemetery as it was sold out by 1900. The array of mausoleums is unparalleled locally as well as the architectural variety of overall monuments and there is more decorative iron work here than contained in the nearby city as a whole. It seems to have more to do with the standing Historic District as well in terms of personalities buried here and surviving buildings in town. The cast includes some 1500 Civil.War soldiers, multiple Union and Confederate Officers and really all in Savannah's only Civil War Military Section. For many the best element is the solace as one is quite often the only visitor over the many acres. Be aware that on weekends there is no real bathroom and office is closed. In spite of the unfair stigma of being called unsafe 20 years ago, it has become safe, is fenced off from a suffering neighborhood, just use common sense and enjoy this hidden gem.

Very neat cemetery. It’s quite large for a cemetery located downtown. There are many beautiful monuments and headstones that date back pretty far. I enjoyed this cemetery as much as Bonaventure. It’s very well-maintained and easy to navigate. This one is much more interesting than Colonial Cemetery!
