Cemeteries of Florida presents:

Showmen's Rest Cemetery

Tampa, Florida

 

This cemetery is for the members of the Greater Tampa Showmen's Association and their families. Members of this association are mostly carnival people: owners of carnivals and concessions and booking agents. Also included are those in carnival and/or circus acts: trapeze artists, human cannonballs, stunt car drivers and others.

This cemetery was featured in an article ("Tampa Bay's 'Six Feet Under' Tour" by Karen Haymon Long) in the June 23, 2002 The Tampa Tribune Travel Section.
