New Orleans Cemeteries - Cities of the Dead
Did you know . . .
New Orleans cemeteries are truly unique with above-ground tombs standing as monuments dating all the way back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Although the tombs are beautiful, aesthetic value isn't the only reason we inter our beloved departed relatives above ground. Due to the high water table in New Orleans, early settlers discovered that if they tried to dig more than a few feet down, water would fill up the hole and their caskets would float!
