ummm ... that was an attempt at humour ... a Dad's joke ... (its illegal to bury live people, no matter where they are living) ... anyway, moving on.

Jim Morrison of the singing group, "The Doors", is also buried there. I have also heard that the singer, Cher, would like to be buried there someday. One requirement for that is to be a resident of Paris for a certain amount of time.
Sarah Bernard rests there, too, and so many others. Jim Morrison's is one gravesite that would be on my bucket list there, too!

Any other grave hunters and bucket lists out there?

Oscar Wilde and Chopin are also buried at the cemetery.
