Things to do in Saint Louis, Missouri (MO): The Best Cemeteries
The history of St. Louis has been heavily influenced by Westward expansion and blues music. The big "must-see" in this region is the Gateway Arch, while other important sites include the Museum of Westward Expansion, the St. Louis Cathedral and the Anheuser-Busch factory tour. The city offers plenty for the whole family. Children will enjoy the local zoo and the Magic House, while family members will also want to unwind at Forest Park, home to the World's Fair almost a century ago.

On a recent Sunday morning while spending a day in St. Louis while on a longer roadtrip, we squeezed in a visit to this most lovely historic cemetery. It is filled with a wide array of historical monuments and mausoleums remembering some of St. Louis' most notable citizens as well as some architecture gems such as the Busch Mausoleum and the Louis Sullivan-designed Wainright Tomb. One could spend hours here enveloped by both natural beauty and the history of St Louis. Pick up a map at the front office!!

I am a genealogist so visiting cemeteries is part of this hobby. This is the largest Catholic cemetery in St. Louis. It is located in an “iffy” section of the city so be careful if you go but once there it is very interesting. There are a number of famous people buried here, really interesting monuments, and some very interesting sections. The entire cemetery records are available for searching online.
5. New Mt. Sinai Cemetery
New Mt. Sinai Cemetery is the oldest Jewish cemetery in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Founded in 1850, New Mt. Sinai is home to some of St. Louis' most prominent citizens. In 2005, New Mt. Sinai was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
