Pompes Funèbres Jouvet - Cimetière Père-Lachaise - Paris 20

You are standing on the Boulevard de Ménilmontant, a street defined by its proximity to the walls of the Cimetière Père-Lachaise. This specific location houses an agency of the Pompes Funèbres Jouvet, an enterprise that serves as a modern bridge to the historic necropolis just steps away. While the cemetery itself opened in eighteen hundred and four, businesses like this one are essential to the day-to-day administration of death in a city where over a million people are interred within these walls. Being located here means the staff regularly coordinates the logistical details of transport and ceremony for those coming to rest in one of the world's most famous burial grounds.
