New Orleans is well know for her distinctive and beautiful burial grounds. On this excursion, we will visit three of New Orleans' 41 historic cemeteries. These burial grounds have very different histories, situations and stories to tell, and give visitors a sense of what underlies Louisiana's distinctive burial practices, from jazz funerals to "ex voto" offerings of extraordinary meaning, to the adaptations to the natural environments of the city that given rise to these remarkably textured cityscapes.
I will pick you up at your downtown hotel, or other downtown location of your choice. We will visit 3 of our most remarkable burial grounds: Chalmette National Cemetery, located at the Chalmette Battlefield in St. Bernard Parish. Situated on the site of the Battle of New Orleans (1815), it contains the remains of soldiers who served from the war of 1812 through the Vietnam War. It has been maintained by the National Park Service since 1864. St. Roch Cemetery #1/ National Shrine of St. Roch, situated in the heart of the historic Ninth Ward and dedicated in 1875, this "above ground" cemetery is a hidden gem among New Orleans' more than 100 cemeteries. Charity Hospital Cemetery, established in 1848 and situated in the Canal St. cemetery district, is the final resting place of thousands of unknowns persons. Replete with lessons for the living, it features the New Orleans Katrina Memorial, built in 2009. Not to be missed!
