  • Inside the Columbarium of Père-Lachaise cemetary in Paris, France, are walls which conceal the ashes of those who were cremated there. As in the cemetary proper the Columbarium plays host to many famous individuals, including
    Jean Moulin, Maria Callas, Isadora Duncan and Stephane Grappelli.
    That Crematorium was the first one built in France from 1887 to 1908.
    This Columbarium is beautiful and the first of its kind I have visited. Climbing the stairs to the second level I got scared but I did overcome this and eventually climbed the stairs again.
    the photos here are vintage and beautiful

    Hi Sue, beautiful columbarium. I like it when there are photographs on the cover. That cat walk is narrow, which really does not encourage visitors. Judging by those supports with caution tape, you were probably right not to go up there. There is one niche that I found particularly interesting; It has a photograph of a soldier, who died in 1915, perhaps killed in action during the first world war.
    This was a awesome video, thank you very much Sue. Take care. 😊

    I've noticed that the continental habit of putting a photo on a memorial or headstone is happening more often here now and I think that's good.

    I believe it would be something in the area of “treat everyone like you yourself want to be treated”
    I think that’s going to be on my stone 😂

    I always thought columbariums were indoors. But I like the way these are open to the outside but still covered from the most severe elements. I question the upper level. There are many temporary supports in place like it has become a work in progress. It needs more attention. Sue you are a braver woman than I! Thank you for letting us tour with you! XO ♥️
