“I never thought that I would write a review on a cemetery. But I recently visited Montrepose Cemetery. I have been there many times over the years. We have family who reside there as their final resting place. But once in a while, I visit for a more extended time, because I might do some needed Maintenance.So I spent some time trimming a small tree and sprucing up head stones. Since I can now visit at more flexible times than before, I now hear and see others visiting, that normally I would not pay much attention to. I got to see the maintenance crew doing what they do, that I normally never witnessed before. Of course I got to see people also visiting loved ones. But I also was able to listen to the birds and smell flowers, trees and such. Somehow I never payed as much attention to them, because I was only focused on one thing. I also noticed people walking. I even witnessed a woman running around the routes through the property.I realized what a nice place this is for the tranquility and quiet. It really is like a park. Although it has a lot of very different features than your typical park. I also realized the safety aspect of walking or running in such an environment. Yes the tranquility and quiet is in of itself a great reason to visit. But the safety of not being on busier roads makes it nicer yet. I guess what I realized was that the Montrepose Cemetery really does have more uses than what one would normally think about. It's a beautiful park environment for our loved ones. But it seems they are willing to share it with others.”
