BY DEANNA B. NARVESON | Staff writer Good morning, Acadiana Business newsletter readers. It's time to start a new week, and Deputy Metro Editor Doug Graham and I will be filling in from Baton Rouge while Adam Daigle takes a well earned vacation. On to some business news of the morning: Holy Sepulchre Cemetery — a deep, wooded burial ground situated in Lafayette's Truman neighborhood — is overgrown. The site is home to hundreds of graves interred in quiet surroundings just off Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, with mature trees and grassy expanses giving the place an air of peace and contemplation. But those same gorgeous grounds quickly grow wild in the heat and wet of South Louisiana making it difficult for families to visit their loved ones' graves, and because the site is a non-perpetual care owned cemetery by Gethsemane Church of God in Christ, the church is not technically required to maintain the grounds. Therein lies the rub, and current challenge as community members work to find a solution to keep the grounds clear. You can read the full story here. |
