    FULL NOLA PLAYLIST • New Orleans Virtual Tours
    When it was dedicated in 1872, the trend in cemeteries in the Eastern United States was toward rural memorial parks with landscaped grounds, lakes, and pathways. This aesthetic, combined with New Orleans flair for ornamented, above-ground tombs, creates a cemetery that one can explore all day.

    I come from Glasgow and lived RIGHT next to a place called "The Necropolis". Wonderful place to just have a stroll amongst the merchants graves and to see the expensive monuments and headstones that are some impressive masonry. This seems right at home to me.

    Isn't that were they film the TV show the originals. I'm going to visit the French quarter in new Orleans by this February or March because I think Mardi gras is in February or March either one of those months so for the first time I'm gonna go there next year and that's in about 4 or 5 months from now. Omg I can't wait and I'm gonna be traveling from far because I'm in northern California so it's gonna be like another world for me once I get to new Orleans.

    "Hey isn’t it time we stopped wasting valuable land on cemeteries? Talk about an idea who’s time has passed. Let’s put all the dead people in boxes and keep them in one part of town. What kind of medieval superstitious nonsense is that? I say plow these people up and throw em away. Or melt them down. We need that phosphorus for farming. If we’re going to recycle, lets get serious.” - George Carlin

    I was 13 when "The Jungle Book" hit the screens, but I felt 'too old'(!) for Disney movies, so I had to wait for video to see that wonderful "Monkey Song" duo between Louie Prima and Phil Harris - but boy, was it worth the wait!
    Classic song from two classic performers.
    Rest in Peace, Louie and Phil.

      Thanks Mary! Good eye - yes, there are both above-ground and in-ground burials in Metairie and most of the neighboring cemeteries. Those cemeteries are built on a natural ridge, so you’re looking at higher elevation here than in most of the city.

    I love visiting cemeteries. I like looking at the different headstones. Mostly now most cemeteries in georgia only allow flat markers. On my mother father side has thier own cemetery, yet some chose to be buried in the church cemetery. Also her mom family has thier own cemetery. I do want a marker. I don't want nobody buried on top of me. That's what happened in a lot church cemetery's. The graves were not properly marked. So after years another church member could be buried there. I don't mind having a above ground vault. Hopefully I have time to think
    .I wouldn't mind being buried on top of my husband. I've seen famlies do that. Great tour.👍💯💜👏🙌🙂👋. Najj.

    Thanks for this. It was just what I needed. I am being laid to rest in New Orleans. Unfortunately, I've been kept from home. I've been feeling very homesick where I am. This made me feel at peace, and it was super cool to get some history. They're so beautiful. An honorable death is my privilege and getting one of these memorials is its blessing. Thank you Louisiana. I love y'all and God bless.

    I use to go to Lafayette cemetery and explore as a preteen. I was fascinated with it and it's occupants. I later realized that I wanted to be a medical examiner, so that was my calling in life. I am a medical examiner and let the dead tell me why they died.

    I never knew there were stages in the burial process. When they need to open the stone to put a new body, how do they cope with the smell?? Also, how do Catholics bury in that cemetery? They are supposed to go into the ground. They can't be buried above the ground.

      Hey Stephanie! So cool that you got to check this stuff out in person. I haven't heard that particular story told around this tomb - a lot of times in New Orleans we have a popular legend version of story that's regularly told, so if I had to guess, I'd say it was probably something like that. (Also never met a NOLA-born person who would be above burial in this tomb - so in that story, the wife must have been from out of town!)
      Here's the reference for this tomb from Find a Grave, which is one of the more reliable online resources: www.findagrave.com/memorial/47923947/eugene-c.-lacosst
      And here's one of the better online profiles, albeit without a picture - it misses a couple points, but gets the basic story right: www.mausoleums.com/portfolio/lacosst-monument/
      So appreciate you watching (and visiting)!
