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.🌹♥️

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 ❤❤❤

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.

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❤️

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!

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.

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 💜

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.

@andrean9413 Ай бұрын

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!

@debbyfoster1431 Ай бұрын

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.

@sandrabrown2132 Ай бұрын

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.

Such a gorgeous cemetery. Paula you look so pretty in your outfit and jewelry, and you saying "everybody's been dying to get in here" was too funny. A sense of humor about death can be good sometimes. This was a wonderful video, thank you for taking us with you. 😊

I went last summer and I was in awe. The most beautiful and interesting place in Savannah imo.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

@jt.s.7418 Ай бұрын

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 ❤
