Rochechouart cemetery boasts a unique monument: the tomb of wine merchant Léonce Chabernaud. He died in 1953, and wanted a lightning wagon to be installed over his grave. The large barrel is made of concrete on wheels (the exact effigy of the lightning wagon), with a capacity of 100 hectolitres, and is mounted on rails. It is stained red, and the epitaph reads: "Léonce Chabernaud, vins en gros, Rochechouart".
