NO two days are the same for Benoit Gallot, whose title since 2018 has been “curator” at the storied Pere-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 authorise a commemorative ceremony.
