Treat your small or large group to a private guided tour of the cemetery. Tours are available for our Sights, Symbols, and Stories of Oakland overview tour and for any of our Special Topic Tours.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for students and seniors (65+). Private tour groups must pay a $60 deposit to reserve the tour. The balance must be paid when the group arrives at the Oak Hill Cemetery Pioneer Building and to check in for the tour. Small tour groups (total ticket amount is less than $60) will not owe a balance and the deposit will cover the cost of the tour.
Group Size
The minimum charge for a provate tour is $100. If a group has more than 25 people, we recommend that the group split up between multiple guides. There is no additional charge for multiple guides.

Please note that during peak tour seasons in spring and fall, tours must be scheduled at least three weeks before your desired tour date. Tours can be scheduled any day and time, except when Oak Hill Cemetery closes for a special event. Tours must begin at least 90 minutes before sunset.
There are times and occasions when due to severe weather events must be re-scheduled. Oak Hill Memorial Association will work in such cases with the group to find a suitable alternative date and time.
The Pioneer Memorial Chapel may be available for a reception or a party in connection with the tour at an additional cost.
Oak Hill Cemetery is open to the public for self-guided touring from sunrise to sunset every day of the week. Stop by our tour center for general information to help you get the most out of your self-guided tour.
