Natchez City Cemetery So manyyyy stories in this cemetery! Here is just a slimmmm few of the billion this beautiful cemetery offered. Storm Shelter Grave: Ten-year-old Florence died of yellow fever. During her short life, she was extremely frightened of storms and whenever one occurred, she would rush to her mother to find comfort. Upon her death, her mother built her tomb so could check on her little girl during storms by looking through the window at the bottom of the stairs and into the grave. To shelter the mother during storms, hinged metal trap doors were installed over the area the mother would occupy while at her child's grave. Rocking Chair Tomb: Ruphus E. Case wanted to be buried in his rocking chair facing his home state of Louisiana. A brick structure was built around Mr. Case and his child or grandchild's grave. Prior to the renovation of this grave, the bricks had crumbled very badly and if you had a flashlight you could look through cracks and see Mr. Case's remains sitting in his rocking chair. The Turning Angel: On March 14, 1908, a gas explosion destroyed the five-story Natchez Drug Co. and killed several employees. The angel watches over five young girls who worked there, ages 12 to 22. The owner was so devastated that he purchased a lot to bury his employees and an angel monument to place at their gravesite. This monument is now referred to as 'The Turning Angel' because at night when cars drive by it appears to turn and follow them. A True Love Story: L. H.

The team of people working with you on final arrangements is a critical part of the process. Mr. West and his team are compassionate and caring and made the process much easier. I live in another state and wanted to leave a review in case there was another person like me in need of services and not familiar with the area. The service was excellent and it is obvious they are in the business to care for the family during their time of need, not just make a profit.
