    Every year in April, Laurel Hill Cemetery commemorates the solemn anniversary of the sinking of the “Ship of Dreams.” The event commences with a walking tour of Laurel Hill, where you"ll visit the burial places of the Titanic passengers, and hear their unique stories. The tour continues at West Laurel Hill Cemetery, where six additional Titanic-related men and women rest. Following the walking tours, a slide-supported presentation will highlight the connection between Philadelphia and the Titanic; this year’s focus is not on the survivors or the bodies immediately recovered at the scene of the disaster, but on the bodies that later re-emerged from the depths. The evening is always capped off by a sumptuous feast that replicates the one served aboard Titanic on that final, fateful day. Widener University Professor and Resident Folklorist, Dr. J. Joseph Edgette, hosts this annual event.
