Cemetery Photography by Chantal Larochelle

Cemetery Photography by Chantal Larochelle Hello! My name is Chantal Larochelle and I am the creator behind Cemetery Photography by Chantal Larochelle.

Capturing the beauty of cemeteries for 19 years. 📸 This page complements the website portfolio and blog of Cemetery Photographer Chantal Larochelle | All images are my own, unless otherwise credited 🖤🪦🇨🇦 I’m a graphic designer and photographer, based in Sudbury, Ontario, with a deep passion for cemeteries and graveyards. For 17 years, I have been exploring and photographing these often overlooked

places, capturing their unique beauty and learning about their rich history. I’m a proud member of the Association for Gravestone Studies, as well as a contributing photographer for Find a Grave. On my blog, I share my cemetery adventures, uncover fascinating stone stories, dive deep into gravestone symbolism, review cemetery-related books, and occasionally try out gravestone recipes. Join me in exploring the beauty of cemeteries through my lens.

is a term for things left behind by mourners at a gravesite. It's fascinating to see what people choose to leave behind, like this wooden rosary.

Happy World Goth Day!

Cemeteries have always had a special place in goth culture. The art, the history, and the quiet beauty of these spaces are full of inspiration. Today we celebrate the style, the stories, and the love for all things dark and timeless. 🖤🪦

are personal items left at graves, each with its own story and meaning. From keepsakes to unique tributes, it's always interesting to see what people choose to leave behind to honour their loved ones.

This week’s blog post is a little more personal than usual.

Earlier this week, my cat somehow managed to delete years of cemetery photos, research, and blog drafts from my computer. Thankfully, I had a partial backup and I’ve been recovering what I can, but it’s been a very rough week behind the blog.

A painful reminder to back up your files regularly.
