      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.

    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.🌹♥️

    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.

    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 ❤❤❤

    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.

    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❤️

    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
    @andrean9413 Před 3 měsíci +2

    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
    @debbyfoster1431 Před 3 měsíci

    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 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.

    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!! 🌴🚤

    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.

    @karenhackney9920 Před 3 měsíci

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ❤
