With designs fashioned after French burial architecture, New Orleans, Louisiana’s St. Louis cemeteries have weathered hundreds of years of swamp-muggy weather and shifts in culture. Yet, they remain some of the most fascinating cemeteries in the United States.
I first visited New Orleans two years after the Hurricane Katrina event of 2005. The city was still largely in shambles and I performed relief work to help homeowners in the area. I wanted to do much more, but the minuscule amount of work I did helped a few homeowners achieve a bit of relief.
On that first trip, I was not able to spend an extensive amount of time visiting cemeteries. However, on a subsequent drive down to Southern Mississippi in 2016, I made a special trip into New Orleans.
On this visit, I dedicated time to New Orleans Cemeteries specifically the St. Louis Cemeteries.
