My wish for you: With Tui’s Tombstone Travels I hope to:

Who is Tui Snider?

Who am I? I’m Tui Snider, an author and speaker who is passionate about exploring cemeteries, writing books, leading tours, and giving presentations with an eye for quirky details and a touch of humor. 

Featured by: My work has been featured by a variety of outlets including Coast to Coast AM, ABC, NBC, LifeHack, The Telegraph, and many more. (Here are a couple of my TV appearances. This one is for WFAA – ABC, and this one is for NBC-DFW Texas Today.)

World Traveler: I travel the world exploring historic cemeteries, then share what I learn through blog posts, lectures, photos, and tours. To see where I am now, visit: Tui Snider’s Travel Blog.

Author: My bestselling works include Understanding Cemetery Symbols, 6 Feet Under Texas, and Paranormal Texas, among many others.

Articles: In addition to this blog, I write a monthly column about cemetery symbolism for American Cemetery and Cremation. (You can read them here.)

Speaker: Since 2014, I have enjoyed presenting on historic cemeteries at various notable venues, including the United Kingdom Research Institute, Tarleton State University, the Southern Monument Builders Conference, and a wide range of libraries and conferences. I also occasionally teach cemetery history at Texas Christian University.

Conferences & Interviews: Do you need a dynamic speaker for your next event or a lively guest to interview for your show?  Visit this page: Tui Snider Speaking & Interviews

Cemetery Tours: My favorite way to teach is by leading immersive tours of historic cemeteries. An art tour recently hired me as a cemetery symbolism guide in Italy and they have since invited me back for 2025. (It was so fun! You can read about it here.)

Videos: In addition to my own YouTube channel, the City of Austin hired me to interpret cemetery symbols for a series of film projects related to historic cemeteries. (You can see those film projects and more at this playlist.)
