PBS World's Greatest Cemeteries has named Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery as one of the best on the planet.

Our Chip Polston sat down with the program's host and producer to find out how the location received the honor.

Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville is the final resting place of notable Kentuckians from Muhammad Ali to Colonel Sanders, the host of World's Greatest cemeteries.

Roberto Mighty gave Cave Hill this designation as one of the world's greatest and is in town tonight for a screening of the episode he shot at the facility.

Roberto, thanks for being with us.

Thank you, Chip.

Glad to.

Be here.

How did Cave Hill land on your radar?

Why Cave Hill Cemetery?

First of all, Chip, the show gets fan mail from all over the United States and, in fact, from other countries.

And when people write in to say how much they like X episode, they pretty much always say, oh, and by the way, have you checked out such and such?

And a number of people from around the country have mentioned Cave Hill for the past two years.

And so that was really your first introduction?

That was my first introduction.

I had not known about Cave Hill, really.

And we took off from there, started doing some research.

We do quite a lot of research for each place, and it turns out to have a national historic landmark designation.

It's physically beautiful.

It's extremely well cared for.

And look at all the history folks have down here in Louisville.

So it held up to your expectations?

It sure did.

Wow.

So you've been to cemeteries, literally, Roberto.

All across the globe.

How did Cave Hill stack up?

How does it compare to some of the other places you've been?

Some of the things we look for, Chip, include, number one, being physically beautiful, being in fact, above gorgeous.

And Cave Hill is gorgeous with its horticulture, with its arboreal culture.

You know, the types of trees that are here and with its general general landscape and the fact that it's also a place for migratory birds.

So all these things make it beautiful.

Plus the statuary and monuments.

So all those things, that's number one.

Number two, of course, is the history.

I have a degree in history.

I'm a history lover and I want to communicate that fun and passion of history to our whole audience.

And Cahill has got a lot of history.

Well, we were really proud to air the episode on on KCET, and it looked really great as I was doing some homework on you.

I read a quote from you that I thought was fascinating, and it was that for every grave there's a story.

Is that really the tent pole of your program.

Chip?

That is, you nailed it.

That is, if you point me to any grave anywhere in the world of any age, and there's going to be a story of that person.

But frankly, some people are more noteworthy than others.

And here at Cave Hill, you've got some incredibly noteworthy folks.

So from your time at Cave Hill, if you're over in Europe working on something and somebody says, Hey, I saw you were in Cave Hill, what's the story you tell them about that cemetery?

What was the thing that you walked away with that was really your big impression there?

I'm going to say it wasn't some big historical thing.

My biggest impression was that people in Louisville are very, very friendly.

I mentioned to you off camera that we worked with the wonderful people at Cave Hill and they run a very, very tight ship, and that's a good thing.

And the staff was just incredibly welcoming and friendly from my hotel to the guy that drove me from the airport.

Everyone's got a nice smile on their face.

It makes a big difference in how we feel as documentary filmmakers when we walk into a town.

That's one thing.

The next thing was just the physical rolling landscape.

That's a beautiful thing to look for.

It delights the human eye and finally, of course, where the people are dedicated to the history of this region, of the country, It's wonderful.

So we'll be airing the last episode of season two here on on TV very shortly.

The big question, is there going to be a season three that folks will be able to watch on set?

And if so, what are some of the places that are on your radar?

I'm happy to say here for the first time on TV, that world's greatest cemetery, season three is going to happen.

And some of the places include in many ways, the father of all of these ornate cemeteries from the 19th century that is parallel shared cemetery in Paris, France, which is where, as you know, Jim Morris.

That's right.

Is interred among many other notable world class figures.

Also a place in Scotland called Glasnevin Cemetery, probably in Dublin, Glasnevin.

And then we have other cemeteries in other parts of the world.

Well, you're a remarkable filmmaker.

You did a fantastic job on the Cave Hill story.

Katie is so proud to be able to show the world's greatest cemeteries, and we'll look forward to season three.

Thank you so much.

Thank you again.

Roberto Mitie, host and producer of World's Greatest Cemeteries.

Renay, back to you.

Great interview, Chip.

You can catch the final season two episode of World's Greatest Cemeteries tomorrow on K2.

And you can watch both seasons of the show any time via the PBS passport streaming service.
