THE BEYOND

It seemth such a little way to me
across to that strange country,
the Beyond, for it has grown to be
the home of those of whom I am so fond
and so for me there is no death
it is but crossing with abated breath
a little strip of sea, to find one's loved
ones waiting on the shore, more
beautiful, more precious than before.

A Governors section details the monuments, memorials, headstones, inscriptions, obituaries, research and cemeteries of the 50 deceased Louisiana governors, from William Charles Cole Claiborne to David Treen.

Thousands of cemeteries that are not contained in any other collection are listed here.

There are original photos of headstones in more than 910 cemeteries.

There are many photo transcriptions with headstone pictures. Examples are Bayou des Glaises Cemetery in Avoyelles Parish, Antioch Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery (84 pages) in Jackson Parish, Concord Methodist Cemetery in West Feliciana Parish, Rocky Branch Cemetery in Union Parish, Patterson Protestant Cemetery in St. Mary Parish and Lafayette Masonic Cemetery in Lafayette Parish and many others.

Virtual Earth maps, aerials, street views and occasional 3D views for all parishes.

We greatly appreciate the efforts of the hundreds who have spent their time in the Louisiana cemeteries documenting our history. These wonderful people have unselfishly allowed their hard earned work to be published here or elsewhere on the internet, to which we have linked from this web site.
