Beneath the wide Nord sky, we find ourselves at the Cimetière d’Ostricourt. This isn’t just a cemetery. It’s a living tapestry woven with the threads of Ostricourt’s past. The Cimetière d’Ostricourt offers a glimpse into the lives of those who once called this town home. It has two entrances. One is located on rue de l’Egalité. The other is on rue Florent Evrard. Perhaps you’re imagining grand mausoleums and elaborate statues. But the Cimetière d’Ostricourt tells a different story. It speaks of a community, a shared history etched in stone. The cemetery’s gates are open daily. They welcome visitors from 8 am to 6 pm between April 15th and October 15th. During the colder months, from October 16th to April 14th, the gates close an hour earlier, at 5 pm. In 2018, the town conducted a survey of the cemetery. They identified forty concessions in a state of disrepair. This process, outlined in French law, allows the commune to reclaim and restore these neglected plots. It reminds us that even in a place of rest, time marches on. The Cimetière d’Ostricourt isn’t simply a collection of graves. It is an archive of Ostricourt’s history, a testament to the lives lived and the memories cherished. While a database records 77 photographed graves, the true number held within the Cimetière d’Ostricourt remains a mystery, waiting to be rediscovered. As you wander through the Cimetière d’Ostricourt, consider the stories held within its walls. They are stories of Ostricourt, stories of families, stories of lives lived and remembered here, beneath the quiet sky.
