    After seeing this tour, I can now understand why Bram Stoker picked Highgate as a scene in the book Dracula. Spending a night looking for a vampire in that setting would give anyone weak knees.

    I'm curious about how they do the burials and install monuments here. It doesn't seem like you would be able to get heavy equipment in such tight spaces.

      its SMALL equipment. My nephew did that for the famous Westwood Cemetery (of the famous!) and he used his SMALL back hoe.

      When I was there in 2019 I saw two cemetery workers with a small digger and a couple shovels getting a plot ready on the east side.

    I guess people who bury their loved ones there have to pay just to get in to visit their own family members graves. Assuming that's how it works because you have to buy tickets online as a visitor. But anyways, good video!

      There are family passes for relatives to use. I have a friend buried there and do not have to pay entry, I am given the pass by his family member.
