About our rating systemThis cemetery is the epitome of quirky Key West: irreverent and humorous. Many tombs are stacked several high, condominium-style, because the rocky soil made digging 6 feet under nearly impossible for early settlers. Epitaphs reflect residents’ lighthearted attitudes toward life and death. I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK is one of the more famous, as is the tongue-in-cheek widow’s inscription AT LEAST I KNOW WHERE HE’S SLEEPING TONIGHT. Plan to spend 30 minutes to an hour or more, depending on how morbid your curiosity is.
