The basics

Key West’s quirky and laid-back attitude to life (and death) is on full display at Key West Cemetery, with headstone inscriptions that read “I told you I was sick,” "I'm just resting my eyes," and “So long and thanks for all the fish.” Key West’s diverse culture is also evident here: there are sections dedicated to Jewish people; Catholics; Cubans who died in the island’s 1868 revolution; and victims of the battleship Maine explosion in 1898.

You can wander through the cemetery on your own although guided tours are available. Themed city-wide history tours, ghost tours, and bike tours also often pass through.
