No two days are the same for Benoît Gallot, whose title since 2018 has been “curator” at the storied Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, the resting place of choice for the great and good of France and those who love them.

He might manage a team meeting, negotiate the sale of a family plot, supervise a sensitive exhumation, prepare for a celebrity burial, scout locations with a movie director, meet with a disgruntled visitor or authorize a commemorative ceremony.

And sign paperwork. Always more paperwork. Needless to say, Gallot does it all while impeccably groomed.

Trained as a lawyer, Gallot can add to his responsibilities Instagram star (@la_vie_au_cimitiere features his photographs), and now, author. His debut book, “The Secret Life of a Cemetery: The Wild Nature and Enchanting Lore of Père-Lachaise,” is an ode to the history and biodiversity of his family’s adopted home: He, his wife (first wary, now a funeral consultant) and their four children live full time within Père-Lachaise’s 110-acre grounds.

“To them, living in a cemetery is normal,” said Gallot when we recently chatted over videocall, together with the book’s translator, Arielle Aaronson. “Three of the four have never known anything else.” Growing up in a family of funerary marble workers, he has never found the surroundings morbid, either.

Père-Lachaise is the most-visited cemetery in the world — and site of the hardest plots to snag. Home to Colette, Susan Sontag, Eugène Delacroix, Isadora Duncan, Honoré de Balzac, Sarah Bernhardt, Georges Bizet, Abelard and Heloise and countless worthies of the French government and military, its verdant grounds attract a mix of tourists, school groups, pilgrims, groupies (Jim Morrison’s fervent fans rate their own sidebar) and plain old mourners from every corner of the globe.
