Life After Life Reservations
Tickets for Life After Life are free of charge. Because of the sensitive nature of the Burying Ground and the care we are bringing our audience, we can only accommodate 30 audience members per show. After you reserve you’ll be emailed instructions on everything you need to know to experience the show.
Life After Life moves through the Burying Ground with portions where audience is sitting in chairs and other portions where we are walking on the path. In order to participate in the performance, audience members should be able to move 1/2 mile on rocky paths, grass, and up and down a gentle hill.
Please reach out with any questions here.

Life After Life aims to overwhelm you with the number of stories that exist in these 11 acres, but we don’t go too deep into any particular one. If you’d like to extend your experience in the Common Burying Ground, please join any of these free talks and tours offered for free in the mornings of our show days. Each one is given by a notable scholar with a particular focus and promises to delve into one of the many histories of this special place.
All talks and tours are free and meet at the Warner St entrance.
Reservations encouraged for the talks where it’s specified.
