Go there and contact
Not an old Laval who knows this cemetery, also known as Vaufleury. Over 72 000 bodies were buried there in over 12 000 burials. With an area of 7,5 hectares, this place of very popular remembrance on the day of All was created at the municipal council on 15 November 1881, while Laval already had two cemeteries: that of the Station (where are departmental archives) and that of Avesnières. Divided into eight squares, Vaufleury has pavilions and general design designed by architect Léopold Ridel, who also owes the Laval the Science Museum, the former credit union, the Saint-Julien Chapel… Among other curiosities, the various chapels which accompany the crossing of the central alley, the famous cross of Malta, the tomb of the former curator Jean-Pierre Bouvet… Not forgetting that of Father Bernardo, a former Jesuit that the Church declared "blessed" and whose reputation leads many curious to come to pray to him: it has the power to heal children who have difficulty in moving.
