Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased at ShowTix4U.com. When you purchase your ticket, you choose your start time, between 4 pm and 7 pm. (note that this is not a haunting or spooky tour, but a respectful retelling of stories of the individuals buried here.) Tours gather at the ticket table at the entrance to the cemetery. Text 810-610-6403with any questions about the Cemetery Walk.
