Bonaventure Cemetery



Bonaventure Cemetery is famous if for no other reason than several parts of the book, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" take place there.

The top two pictures are from Johnny Mercer's grave. He is a famous composer if you look closely at the bench you can see several of his creations.





















Paula and I have visited a lot of old cemetery's but nothing like this. The statuary here is unbelievable! Not only the quality of the statuary but the sheer size. Some of these are at least 30ft tall. Be sure to click on them so you can see them full size!
