Our Eccentric Key West Cemetery

Built in 1847 in the Dead center of Old town to replace the one washed away by a hurricane that same year, the Historic Key West cemetery is full of history and eccentricities. Surrounded by Angela, Margaret, Passover Lane, Frances and Olivia streets, they embrace a serene courtyard containing above ground tombs, weathered gravestones and peaceful statues. The Historic Key West cemetery is now the final resting place to a unique cast of individuals that only Key West can compose.

True accounts of Carl Von Cosel

Her name was Elena Hoyos, and she was a beautiful woman in her twenty’s dying from tuberculosis. While trying to save her life, the much older Count Carl Von Cosel fell in love with her. So divested by her death, one dark night in 1933, Count Carl Von Cosel stole Elena’s body from the crypt, and for 7 years attempted to resurrect her in his laboratory.
