My grandparents, great grandparents and my step grandparents are buried. My moms parents and my grandmothers mom/dad are buried at the very back and my step grandparents are buried around the middle of cemetery. My other grandparents are buried at Hillcrest Abby East.
Cementaries are so peaceful... We're our Son is buried there's a bench at the foot of his grave and a big oak tree is there also so we sit there and just soak up the calmness and listening to the birds and the Lil squirrel s are running around such a peaceful atmosphere..... Thanks for sharing this beautiful place with us, Paula ❤❤❤
I love visiting this cemetery. My grandmother, great grandmother & grandfather, great aunts & uncles and etc. are buried in this cemetery. We are all Native American. My husband and I go there once a year to put flowers on all of my relatives graves. We live 2 hours away. I can never get enough of this cemetery. So much history. I highly recommend people to visit this cemetery. If visiting, plan on spending a couple of hours. So glad that Paula and Eddie did a video there.🌹♥️
Thank you for showing us around Savannah. I enjoy these videos. This is a gorgeous cemetery! I enjoy watching you, Mrs Paula, because your sense of humor and way of talking reminds me so much of my late Granny. It's like getting to visit her when I watch your videos, especially ones like these where you casually show us around Savannah. Thank you❤️
Midnight in the Garden is one of my favorite movies. I love to see that the cemetery is so taken care of...so many are forgotten and left to ruin. The azaleas are lovely. Thank you for the tour.
Love this one Paula & Eddie! You need to do more videos like this. 👍☺I always love your cooking, but my favorite videos of yours is when you show your garden/home, your fur babies and chickens, tours around town, etc. Wish you could take us out on the water sometime!! 🌴🚤
My family went on vacation in Savannah in 2009 for my uncle's 50th birthday. On the last evening there, we went to Bonaventure cemetery but it was closed for the night 😢 we saw so much of the rest of Savannah (and of course, we ate at your restaurant 😊) and it remains one of my favorite cities! I'd love to go back 💜
Paula and Eddie, that Cemetery is Gorgeous! I like to go to different cemeteries to see all the dufferent headstones. Where i am from in a small town there is a creek that runs thru from two different lakes and smack dab in the cemetery us a huge bald eagles nest so magnificent to watch bald eagles around there. They live there and can fish for food. Just so fun to watch and visit family and family friends who have passed😥😭
We visited Savannah last year, the week before St. Patrick's Day. The tour of Bonaventure Cemetery was the highlight of the trip. We had so much fun in Savannah!
I lived in Savannah for little over 4 yrs. My sister was born there and my brother drowned in the river, boating accident. My sister and I go back almost every year. Love, love, love Savannah!!
Thank-You Eddie and Paula!!!! This was just FASCINATING!!!! I LOVE Old Cemeteries!!!! The History of them is just INCREDIBLE!!!! And Paula, if they put you in the New Section, then others will FOLLOW, I GUARENTEE IT!!!!
My husband and I were married in Savannah in 2007 because of my obsession with you, Paula. We go back and visit frequently and we have been to this cemetery several times. We have never visited in the spring, though. We came to Savannah in July and it was hotter than hades, so now we go in the fall. We will have to plan a spring trio to see the Azaleas.
I finally made it to Bonaventure Cemetery almost two years ago after coming to Savannah for 38 years. I loved it! It is so beautiful and I loved the story of Gracie. And I’ve never been to Savannah in the spring! I need to put that on my list!
I've been through Bonaventure several times and it is a peaceful and beautiful place. So much history resides there. You can spend hours walking the grounds.
I e been to Savannah and Bonaventure 7 times. My most favorite City in the world I have visited in all seasons. The best time to visit in my opinion is October or early March when the azaleas are in full bloom. The summer months are horrible for the heat and the humidity. But Savannah is beautiful. Bonaventure is beautiful and if you want to know the stories about some of the people laid to rest there you need to get a guide. It makes Bonaventure more special. The guide I love is Shannon Scott. He knows the stories of the lives and deaths of those that reside there.
Was there a couple of weeks ago. Wandered all through that gorgeous cemetery. Such reverence and peace. Had lunch at The Lady and Sons, would never miss that chance. Missed Paula by one day. Was so upset, she had a book signing on the day we left. I live in FL and love Savannah.
Thank you Paula and Eddie for the tour! My husband and I saw the little girl statue before she was moved to the museum. Johnny Mercer really was talented! I enjoyed this. My girls gave me a fabulous trip to Savannah last year and we visited all also ate at your restaurant. Love Savannah!
I love every video. But this was such a wonderful and refreshing video. It most certainly showed a very humble side of Paula! You are forever my hero! You are a blessing to the culinary and design worlds!! #paularules
Savannah is my favorite place in the world! Years ago, I vacationed there, and visited Bonaventure at least three times that week. I can't wait to go back one day. Thank you so much for taking us on a tour!
Thanks for this tour. Bonaventure reminds me of Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. Both are on a river, too. Hollywood is on the James River that runs through Virginia.
So beautiful, love this content,, Maybe I missed it was Auntie Paulas parents and family burried there? love to see that, seeings how Im so far away.. closes one I have went to and met was Aretha Franklin, met her on the Amtrack trip to Chicago, sat next to her and had a great conversation the whole trip
One of my ancestors, James Neil, is buried here. He was an actor and a director in the early days of the film industry and in theatre. He was married to Edyth Chapman who was also in theatre and film. They worked with the Barrymores in some projects
My husband and I love Savannah! Bonaventure is such a unique cemetery. We visited it about 26 years ago. Sad that they had to move the bird girl statue. The book by John Berendt put Savannah on my radar. It’s a good book that was made into a movie.
I have collected epitaphs from Victorian tombstones for over thirty years. My travels have taken me from the east to west coast with everything between. I have several journals full of the the most moving, poetic,heartfelt, tear jerking writings. I have to say Bonaventure Cemetery (Savannah) and Magnolia Cemetery ( in Charleston, S.C.) are two of my favorites.
I have family buried there. My great-grandparents, my grandfather and some uncles. I agree that it is the most beautiful cemetery. We need to plan a trip and visit Savannah.
We have visited Savannah twice during azalea flowering season in March. Loved every minute but unfortunately did not have the time to go to Bonaventure Cemetery. Love reading the historical headstones from so long ago. Really enjoyed this video.
This is a very nice video Paula. I learned much from this; Johnny Mercer. I knew every song but nothing about the composer. Love the movie Garden also. What a beautiful cemetery. Thank you for sharing the history. I’ve never been to Savannah but I think I need to take a trip there. I am not far away and could actually drive there.
I have never been to Savannah, but I would love to visit one day. This cemetery would definitely be on my must see list. So beautiful. Thank you for the tour.
Paula I love this Garden Cemetary,,that is sad about Gracie.But the integrity of this Cemetary,is more than I can say for most.But Paula it is Beautiful!and carries History.I saw the Movie.❤😊 love you Paula and Eddie.
I’ve been to Savannah many times and walked through Bonnaventure once. It was all so beautiful. I’ve also enjoyed several meals at The Lady and Sons. Thanks so much for this beautiful tour. 🌺🌸🌺
What a great cemetery. We have an old one that dates back to the 1700’s. I love walking it and reading the headstones. Thanks for the tour of yours. Beautiful azaleas.
My husband and I visited Tybee and Savannah a couple of years ago and Bonaventure was at the top of my list of must see spots! It is beautiful! We enjoyed our visit so much and hope to come back.
TFS! brings back beautiful memories! I have several relatives who were laid to rest in the cemetery. As a teenager and young adult, I enjoyed driving through the cemetery quite often. I love the history there. And I love azaleas!
My only visit to Bonaventure was in the Spring of 2015. It is the most beautiful cemetery I’ve ever seen. I also visited Laurel Grove North and Laurel Grove South and Colonial Park Cemetery. The Catholic Cemetery as well. ❤
Love this episode! I love walking thru old cemeteries, I love ice had since my grandmother used to do with me. There is such beauty and peace. I'm from Mesquite, Texas... thank you for sharing ....❤
They just don't make beautiful headstones like this anymore. What a gorgeous cemetery. Can't believe that, as a fellow Georgian, I've never been there. Thank you for the tour. Paula, if I may make a suggestion, when you ask someone a question, please allow them to finish their answer before interrupting. I know it's a habit but saying uh huh while someone is speaking is not a good thing. Listening is a lost art.
A few years back a friend recommended that I read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Ever since then Bonaventure Cemetery has been on my list of places to go. I have been by Savannah a couple of times on the way to Florida, but it never worked out for me to make it over that way. It is still on my list and hopefully can make it down that way within the next year. I don't want to be there in the summer heat, so I am looking toward the first part of December. Thank you for taking us along Paula. This was a great video!
Hi Paula and Eddie 🙋♀️Very interesting information, beautiful cemetery🌹🌹 ❤❤when I attend funerals I walk around and see who's been buried at the cemetery 🌹💗
Wonderful intro❤😂 I also hope to visit Savannah one day it's so rich in history and beautiful and I just love y'all thank u for ur time and ur channel 😊🙏🏻💖
The Girl Scouts go to Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah. If you haven't been to that cemetery, Paula, you should go!! It's not as well-kept as Bonaventure but is gorgeous, in a haunting way, as well. Juliet Low died of breast cancer and was buried in her girl scout uniform! I don't live in Savannah but have been to Bonaventure hundreds of times.
We went to that cemetery. We have a concrete statue called The Bird Girl from the book and movie called Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil. We also did see Johnny Mercers grave with his glasses on the grave.
Beautiful old cemetery. Thank you Eddie and Paula. On another note, I beg to suggest that Paula refrain from uh huh-ing while folks are talking. I doubt she's aware. I simply adore and respect her so much. Please accept my humble opinion in hopes it brings awareness, never offense ❤
Yep -- there's an old video where Paula explains how she found Eddie, who was recommended to her by a friend of Paula's who Eddie had worked for. You'll find the video on her channel.
Have y'all visited Bonaventure Cemetery before? What was your favorite part? I just love Little Gracie's grave.
His last name is Fahrenbach
Flannery O’Conner
My grandparents, great grandparents and my step grandparents are buried. My moms parents and my grandmothers mom/dad are buried at the very back and my step grandparents are buried around the middle of cemetery. My other grandparents are buried at Hillcrest Abby East.

People get married at Bonaventure, there is a lovely park in the middle of the property.

Such a beautiful place. Love old cemeteries. I'll check it out next time there. Wouldn't you love to hear some of their life stories ?
Savannah is my favorite place in the world! Years ago, I vacationed there, and visited Bonaventure at least three times that week. I can't wait to go back one day. Thank you so much for taking us on a tour!

Love it when Miss Paula & Eddie takes us on field trips. ❤
First place I go when I come to Savannah on vacation! Love this place it is amazingly beautiful!

That was fun! Love seeing you doing other things & seeing you out & about! Blessing’s from Bethlehem, New Hampshire!❤
Omg you got your haircut!! Beautiful!!!! Perfect!😊

I went last summer and I was in awe. The most beautiful and interesting place in Savannah imo.
My husband and I love Savannah! Bonaventure is such a unique cemetery. We visited it about 26 years ago. Sad that they had to move the bird girl statue. The book by John Berendt put Savannah on my radar. It’s a good book that was made into a movie.
Thanks for the brief tour of the old cemetery. Don't suppose I will ever get the chance to see it in person.
I have collected epitaphs from Victorian tombstones for over thirty years. My travels have taken me from the east to west coast with everything between. I have several journals full of the the most moving, poetic,heartfelt, tear jerking writings. I have to say Bonaventure Cemetery (Savannah) and Magnolia Cemetery ( in Charleston, S.C.) are two of my favorites.
What a beautiful final resting place. I have never seen such a gorgeous cemetery. Not only the azaleas, but those massive trees and the moss, wow!
Thank you for the tour. It was lovely.
Thank you so much. It was a beautiful tour.
I have family buried there. My great-grandparents, my grandfather and some uncles. I agree that it is the most beautiful cemetery. We need to plan a trip and visit Savannah.

I love taking my 3 hounds for walks at Bonaventure...I personally love the story behind the Aiken grave.

Brings me back to the movie “ Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”.
Wonderful video!!! I sure wish we all had an Eddie!!! ❤❤
This was a fun video, Paula and Eddie.
That was cool. Do more like that, please.
What a beautiful cemetery, normally old ones are scary. Would you please or have you ever made Nancy's Benny wafers❤❤❤
Next year it would be great to let all us viewers know when the azaleas are ready to bloom.
Thank you SO MUCH for this very special post!!
I live in New Jersey. My husband is just like you. Loves cemetery’s.
Loved this, thanks for sharing.

Paula did a video on Eddie and how they met.
Yep -- there's an old video where Paula explains how she found Eddie, who was recommended to her by a friend of Paula's who Eddie had worked for. You'll find the video on her channel.
Paula love your outfit… where do you shop
