The TalkDeath Cemetery Scavenger Hunt is one of our favorite events to host!This is our 4th year participating! And we are proud to be working alongside
The East Cleveland Township Cemetery!
The cemetery was founded on August 31, 1859, by the East Cleveland Township, which is no longer in existence. The cemetery property was part of an annexation that took place in 1892, and the cemetery is physically located in the City of Cleveland. The East Cleveland Township Cemetery Foundation’s vision is to restore and maintain the East Cleveland Township Cemetery as a historic landmark that creates an urban park for the community to have the benefit of a place to relax, reflect, and discover the historical significance of the area, and to build a solid financial foundation for its future.
This year's art is by Ocean Escalanti @oldisthegrave 🌊
The TalkDeath Cemetery Scavenger Hunt encourages people to appreciate and learn about local cemeteries and their histories. It invites community members to visit cemeteries, reducing stigma and demonstrating that cemeteries can be spaces for the living. Participants learn about memorial iconography and history, connect with their community, spend time with friends and loved ones, and reflect on mortality.
