Saint Louis Cemetery
Saint Louis Cemetery is the name of three
cemeteries in
New Orleans, Louisiana. The burials are in above ground vaults; most were constructed in the
18th century and
19th century. The above-ground
tombs, required here because the
ground water levels make
burial impractical in New Orleans, are strongly reminiscent of the tombs of
Père Lachaise cemetery in
Paris.
Marie Laveau is buried in Saint Lous Cemetery #1, in the Glapion family crypt.
