On October 18, 2019, The Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetery welcomed ghouls and girls to the 15th Annual fundraising gala. The Gravediggers’ Ball took place in Center City at the Mütter Museum. Over the past decade, the Gravediggers’ Ball has raised nearly over a half million dollars towards the preservation, maintenance, accessibility and educational interpretation of Laurel Hill Cemetery, the first cemetery in the United States to receive the designation of National Historic Landmark.
