About

Hello!

My name is Chantal Larochelle, and I am the creator of Cemetery Photography by Chantal Larochelle. I’m a graphic designer and photographer based in Sudbury, Ontario, with a deep passion for cemeteries and graveyards.

For 18 years, I have been exploring and photographing these often overlooked places, capturing their unique beauty and learning about their rich history. My photography focuses on the details of gravestones and their symbolism, highlighting meaningful epitaphs, and the personal mementos—grave goods—left behind by loved ones.

I am a proud member of the Association for Gravestone Studies and the Sudbury Arts Council. I am also a contributing photographer for Find a Grave.

Through my blog, I share my experiences exploring cemeteries and uncovering the fascinating stories of famous and not-so-famous graves. I also dive into the deeper meaning of gravestone symbols, review cemetery-related books, and occasionally try out gravestone recipes.
