We have a bunch in New Orleans, but the bodies are all above ground with the
exception of Holt Cemetary (for really poor folks). If you are looking for
lots of marble tombs above ground, look no further. Let me know if you want
a handful of digital pics of them.

Subject: [Leica] OT: know any good cemeteries?


Hi all

Off topic so apologies but this is the kind of thing you guys are good 
at.

I am looking for a location to shoot a movie in. It needs to be in the 
US or Canada. We need a decent sized, atmospheric cemetery, kind of 
tumbledown and unkempt, with a good variety of graves (mainly late 
nineteenth and early 20th century preferably). It should have a load of 
trees and ideally a sightline to a road and a place where a shack could 
be built. It's going to be standing in for the Ozarks but location is 
not too important.

The ones we've been looking at so far include the Ross Bay cemetery in 
Victoria, BC and the Toronto Necropolis. However the best visually I 
have seen so far is the Bagdad cemetery in Pensacola, FA

I would be really grateful for tips for any other cemteries that people 
may know about, especially if people have pictures of them. At this 
point we're not even worrying about whether we could get permission to 
shoot in them. We'll deal with that later. Please mail offlist to:

Thanks in advance for any help...
