THIS EPISODE:
St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is the oldest and most famous in Louisina. It was opened in 1789, replacing the city's older St. Peter Cemetery (no longer in existence) as the main burial ground when the city was redesigned after a fire in 1788. It is 8 blocks from the Mississippi River, on the north side of Basin Street, one block beyond the inland border of the French Quarter. It has been in continuous use since its foundation.
Effective March 1, 2015, the Roman Catholic Diocese of New Orleans, which owns and manages this cemetery, has closed it to the general public, ostensibly because of the rise in vandalism there. However, the diocese has recently changed their policy, and was then charging tour companies for access. At the time of this episode, the cemetery has been completely shut down to all, due to the COVID crisis.
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
You turned lemons, into lemonade! Just because YOU can't get inside, doesn't mean you can't get INSIDE! What fantastic drone managing and footage, I really enjoyed this Ron!
You got that right. Where there’s a will there’s a way, and we are going to figure it out together. Glad you came along and glad you liked it. This one I really enjoyed!!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten I have a family cemetery story I would like to share by email.
Great way of putting it Ms. Pete!
Amen to that!
Thank you so much for your video. I went to New Orleans for the first time a year ago and I was so sad I wasn’t able to visit the famous graveyards. This was an amazing trip. Also I’m happy your knee and chest is better. -Kim
I’ve seen this cemetery here on UA-cam a few times. But hands down Ron yours is a hell of a lot better. The FF sky cam the narration and the music definitely make it unique. I doubt anyone can top this. Nice job as usual.
Holy cow thanks that’s about as good a complement as I’ve ever gotten. That says a lot. The reviews look pretty good coming in and and pretty excited, I love watching it over and over myself!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten b boo just by
@@FacesoftheForgotten n
This was an ingenious way to cover this cemetery. I have seen multiple UA-camrs just give up or take the guided tour to get in. I enjoyed this way of seeing the cemetery so much more. Love this series in the south 👍🏻
Its better to walk around alone and have no stress at all, but when you have guide then its just..talk , talk,talk.. and forward. When you are alone you can see all the details and see without stress, no sound. The music was so perfect on this video. Well every video that
you do is perfect .
boy, I am with you on that Anna! yes..
@@FacesoftheForgotten Becouse you want to enjoy and just see. That i like to do when im walking around on graveyards. Hear the nature and see the stones. Just saying 🙂😊
Loved it!! The drone shots & the music were absolutely fabulous!!!!!!
Absolutely loved this tour! The drone shots were beautiful, and your narration was fantastic.
Also LOVED that mechanical violin in the beginning. Never seen anything quite like that!
I wanted to say thank you for showing some of our great city. We have definitely been through alot here in New Orleans but we keep fighting on. 🙂💙💜
I love your city, and everyone was nice.I was a bit nervous going into the French Quarter, especially at night...but when I got there, it was a GREAT CROWD, CLASSY, NICE, FRIENDLY AND SAFE!!!! I am bringing my family next year!!!!!! You are lucky to be there, what a wonderful place! Like I said, it exceeded my expectations by MILES!!
Brilliant Ron! Great piloting, great commentary, great shots and great choice of music! A professional film production team couldn’t have done better.
Agree 👏👏👏🙋♀️
wow John, huge HUGE compliment, ty, and I am glad you and others liked it! It makes the efforts worth while.
@@FacesoftheForgotten My pleasure, Ron. Really impressive footage, you should proud of yourself!
Wow Ron what a wonderful presentation when you can’t personally go in. You’re setting that shelf a little higher for yourself my friend. You’re top shelf in my book. Really enjoy all your videos and stories behind them.
I'm happy to hear this trip exceeded your expectations! It was a great little escape away from the north. Thank you for the grandiose tour. Have a safe & fun trip back home! 🤩 👍

That’s Why I love what you Do Sr !👏
Thank you very Much 🙋♀️🤗🇧🇷🇺🇸
RIP To All those Beloved People🙏💐
like that Dulce!
That is amazing. I'm an author (vampires, what else). I had the first book set partially in St. Louis 1, the McCall tomb back near the back. I included a story with the characters finding a still-smoking altar on the top of one of the graves. That story is based on a real life incident that happened to me and my husband on a walk through there before they shut the cemeteries down, sometime around 1997. We were walking and just looking at the graves and came around a corner. I caught a motion going away and when we looked down, there was an altar with the candle, rum, and cigar. We had evidently disturbed someone in mid-ritual. We apologized to the spirits and kept walking. Evidently the caretaker knew this was going on because he thanked us for being considerate. That story is in the book and takes place the night of Katrina. As I said, I love that cemetery and, quite frankly, every cemetery I come across.
Life is so precious imagine living back then with the fires and flooding epidemics and of course danger around every corner from your fellow man people were just built tougher back then, Ron you never stop amazing me with your many talents I would've crashed my drone in there somewhere and have to find and hope I could retrieve it.
Life is like this now......
New Orleans is amazing and I loved the cemetery and the drone was a great idea you are clever and should have your own show
The only thing I can think to say is how beautiful. I know that sounds strange when half the Cemetary is falling apart but, I see nothing but beauty!
Love love LOVE this!💙💙💙 I've never seen a player piano/violin.🎹🎻 That is soooo cool!😎 Thanks Ron for a most unique tour of the cemetery, also very clever😉. Safe travels👍🍀🚗
I can't believe nick cage is quite full of himself lost respect from me now. This was an amazing video Ron keep up the amazing work. Love how when u upload its my bed time it always relaxes me
agree!!!!
The beauty of the drone flyover & music was so fantastic I’m watching this again ♥️♥️❤️❤️✝️✝️🌷🌷💐💐🌹🌹💝💝
Well done. I was born in New Orleans in 1962, and have never tired of its charm. Thank you for being so kind to our great city. New Orleans has certainly weathered many a storm.
Your videos have always been great, but they are just getting better and better every time! Thank you for your hard work! ❤️
Wow Ron great job. Drone work was fantastic. I enjoyed all of your southern video’s so much. Thank you for taking all of us on the trip with you 👍🏻. Love and Prayers from NYC
thanks Maureen!
a few more to come. I'm back home editing here in the snow in Chicago, lol. I think I have 8 or 9 still coming, plus local episodes shot last fall and winter...I am ahead, taking a break, in Arizona with the family next week!
@@FacesoftheForgotten how nice for the snow to be there waiting for you. We are due to get some tomorrow night and again on Thursday. Glad you made it back safely home. Can’t wait to see the treasures you still have in store.
Amazing video and content thanks for sharing this. A true lesson in history.
Your a storyteller Ron. I could listen to your voice forever. You really have a special gift. My grandpa Tommy was the same way, he just passed a month ago and on his obituary we made sure to put “storyteller” to describe him. I’m gonna miss his stories but it makes me enjoy hearing others much more now. Thank you for using your time to share with us.
Hi Ron! Thanks for making my day sunny and bright! 🌞😁
This was a fantastic episode of yours! The drone work and narration is so satisfying to watch and the overall completion very slick! Very, very impressed, sir! Cheers, for making this happen.
The history here is incredible. Great job with the drone, and the history imparted. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Well Ron ... you out did yourself 😉😉🥂well done! Thank you 😊 that was amazing!
Hi Ron, Wow... what great shots you took of this famous cemetery !!! The drone looks like it was on a track that it was flown so smoothly , I felt like I was there flying over their graves. Excellent video & great music ... Kudos to you for your smart idea to use a drone. I don't blame the church for closing it to the public when stupid people disrespect the graves with vandalism !!! Thanks for sharing this with us, your fans !!!
right on Cathy! uggg, makes me so mad...these few fools! ruin it for all.
I love it when you use the drone. What a view! What a beautiful sight right in the middle of such a busy area. Loved it xx
Thank you so much for this great video and for letting us travel with you. Great gift for my Bday march 4th. 😁😁😁
Happy Birthday Lately,
But Happy Birthday Anyway🙋♀️💐🎂🍰
🥰❤️🤗😀👏🇧🇷🇺🇸
@@dulcehajjar5826 thank you 🙏
Happy birthday!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten thank you 💗
Tbh, the way you did this Ron was perfection itself. One of the reasons you had to have a tour guide was that too many tourists were being attacked and mugged. There were projects overlooking and tourists could be watched and quickly mugged and the attackers quickly disappeared amongst the graves. I was last here maybe 2 years before Katrina and it was getting more and more tumbledown. It looks much worse now.
You did an amazing job and your narration was perfect as ever.
I absolutely love the drone shots. You did a marvelous job. Thank you.
Wow! Amazin, those drone shots were spot on! Thanks so much.
This video is why you are THE best vlogger. Thanks for a fantastic video done in a very ingenious way.
I now think only pilots should fly drones!!! That was spectacular. Thank you.
Awesome video, Ron! What a wonderful Sky Cam shots! I love to listen the stories what you tell. They almost come to life in front of me. Thank you very much for the experience! 💖 And I'm waiting for next one 😘
Great video, you get a better view with he drone. It's hard to make sense of it when walking through it. It is not as beautiful as I would have thought, but has some great history. Thanks Ron.
I think you are right Patricia, it is so tight in there on the ground, it must feel almost one dimensional. but from low, above...I was even shocked at the positive outcome.
Part of the fun of doing all this, I like to experiment, push new limits, try new ways...innovate.
@@FacesoftheForgotten 👍
Another awesome video! Thanks from snowed in Wyoming! 🤗✌️
That was fantastic as was your narrative. the drone work was so well executed. Also thanks for the shots of the auto playing piano and violins that is some workmanship.
Nice drone flying.
Fantastic video again.
I absolutely love your 4k video's ..i wish more vloggers did that.
Absolutely Beautiful, you did a fantastic job.
You should rename this channel “Faces of the Remembered”, because as long as you’re doing this work, these people will never be forgotten. Great work, sir.
What a mesmerizing way to explore a very old, very crowded cemetery ! Beautiful navigating, I felt like it was my very own private tour made possible by a knowledgeable , respectful tour guide. Beautifully done ❤️❤️❤️
Beautifully done! Getting better and better!
Wow! Just WOW! Ron, you have just reached the pinnacle of your vlogging! Exceptional drone footage of one of the most interesting cemeteries in New Orleans, actually better than any tour. And your commentary was great, too! How enjoyable you make this odd hobby of ours!! Thanks so much!
thanks Jane, great not. man, glad you liked it...it was tricky, but worth it!!
Beautiful thank you for getting us in 🙌🏼❤️
Very clever way to cover the cemetery! I loved it! I really enjoyed the intro too. Another great video!
Thanks for taking us there..Great Video!
Wow! I miss New Orleans so, so much! Thanks for the little visit today. It was a nice shot in the arm.
You’re doing a really good job with the videos, I live in St.Louis Mo., if you’re ever in the area you should go to Bellefontaine and Calvary Cemetery they are very old and have many famous people, my father is buried in Bellefontaine and after watching your videos, i started to appreciate how beautiful and peaceful cemeteries truly are, I’ve drove pass these two cemeteries my whole life and never knew what they truly contained. Nice job and keep up the good work 👌🏾
I totally agree with those 2 cemeteries. I'm in Illinois across the mighty Mississippi . I remember helping my mother with dates etc. She loved her genealogy. If you want quiet walk through a cemetery.
WOW! WHAT A AWESOME HISTORY LESSON I GOT FROM YOU TODAY, I LOVED IT! THANK YOU.😊❤
You have outdone yourself! Absolute perfection. ❤️
Wow I would love a longer video on this although I don’t know why you need to be in a tour guide to look around it , such a beautiful place ❤️
funny, I did all I could not to repeat views...IT'S SO SO TINY IN THERE!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten the drone footage was great too ❤️
Wow, talk about cramped quarters. I have no words for this video, just AMAZING!!!!!!!!
This was just amazing to watch and we had our own personal tour guide. I was just in awe with the sky cam. Just beautiful keep up the amazing work as always your number 1 fan from Memphis Tennessee 👍
just left south Memphis, I did an episode on Memphis Belle (Margaret Polk). Loved it there.
That was wonderful Ron from above.
You put so much care and quality into your craft, honoring those who are forgotten as well as remembered. So glad you had your way and got(us) in. May I add Spectacular drone work!
Oh My! What a tremendous video. Great scenes, great narration, great impression of Nicolas Cage. This is definitely Academy Award material. Thank you so much for your dedication in making such meaningful videos. May God bless you for your service to humanity.
Thank you so much for sharing the history of this beautiful cemetery. I really enjoy all of your Cemetery tours. Thank you from Edmonton, Alberta Canada!
You're videos are so wonderful. Please come back here when you can walk through.
This was a spectacular way of seeing the cemetery 💥. That piano/violin set up was way cool 😁. Of course leave it to a over bloated narcissist to a. put a devil pyramid in there and b. expect kisses from adoring fans.....who needs enlightenment 🤦. Great storytelling. Safe travels 💗🕊️
agree Beth!!
There are pyramids and other Egyptian images in other cemeteries, most in Metairie Cemetery, due to fashions of the day. But yes, the Iluminati needed one at those coordinates. ;)
@@jazziphoto4138 - yeah I did Metairie cemetery also, and some of the others while I was down there. ua-cam.com/video/BEx0DWnM9ds/v-deo.html
👏 Well done as always!
Loved! Awsome juz awsome! Beautifully told & so drawn n. U sir r the bomb! U really need a channel on t.v.! U make it where u juz can't help but get drawn in. 💜💜💜
Ron, you outdid yourself with this one! Great narration and drone footage. Awesome job!
I believe this to be your finest work. A most interesting view. Music, but not overwhelming music. Great flying skills also. VERY nice. Good Job, looking forward to more with this new tool!
Really appreciated today's video. Very interesting stuff. Awesome work with the drone. Thanks for taking us along. I look forward to your next video.
Great drone footage! Not being mean, but that cemetery is really full. Wow. Not an empty inch.
claustrophobic..yes, even from the air!!! 😆
@@FacesoftheForgotten LoL 🤣!
The sky cam, absolutely breathtaking shots! And the music so fitting. Thank you for taking me along the sky tour.
That automatic piano, violin 🎻😳was fascinating and creepy at the same time. So happy to see your channel grow. God bless you always 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What an awesome perspective of this amazing cemetery. Fantastic video sir.
You are still a Great pilot Ron ! Excellent work once again , I give it 5 Stars !
I'm so glad you told Ms. Laveau true story... I read and researched deeply about her and she was a wonderful person... The way she is portrayed in movies is not correct on some parts!
right on, she was amazing...and good heart. Typical of some people want to glamorize any evil they can make up.
Another great production! Well done, sir!
Bravo 👏 and well done! Excellent narration and filming
I want to go there for the food!🍰🍰😍😍😍I love Southern cooking .🍰🍰🍰😍😍😍💕💕
You exceeded our expectations with this video. Amazing!!!! Doesn't even begin to describe the footage one is about to view. Thank you so much.
The Cemetary looks like a little City from above. Beautiful
BRAVO!! I will always have a special place in my heart for N.O. so many memories for me. March 4 was my birthday, thanks for the beautiful gift.
You really outdid yourself on this one!
just loved this video, so interesting fantastic filming i felt like a bird gently flying over the cemetery .that was the best ever i was hooked ,you cant top that Ron.
I have actually been to Marie Laveau's grave at St. Louis Cemetery about 12 or so years ago my counterpart in the New Orleans office took me. It is a really something in person it is an altar and many gift stores in New Orleans have altars for her inside too.
Wow! Excelent work ! Thank you very very much for sharing with us. Very grateful😊
A video well done. Great drone footage with soothing music. This was one way of getting in. Interesting history on this cemetery.
This video is hauntingly beautiful. I felt like I could see the way it was way back when. This is so much different than a tour. The lack of flowers makes me think many have been forgotten.
Nicholas Cage's story is so interesting. Thank you for letting us remember and honor those who have gone before us.
Wow, I really enjoyed this! Great production 👍🏽
I've been putting off watching this episode. I am born and raised in NOLA. Raised in the French Quarter and 9th Ward. I am very persnickety about my city and how it is represented. She's been through so much over her 300 years. Ron, you did this right. Many of my family members are interred at St Louis #1. It's sacred ground. Thank you for being so sensitive.
now thats an awesome compliment, ty!! inspiring for me.
Surreal watching this as I'm snowed by a blizzard right now in minnesota
Outstanding video, Sir! Very well done and please do more like this original piece of art!
Hi, hope you are doing great. Love your videos and always look forward to them.
Great Drone footage, How did Nicholas Cage get admitted to an Archdiocesan cemetery? He must've paid some big bucks but the odd looking structure doesn't fit in with the rest of the cemetery. I guess anyone who can afford to pay can get in there.
This has got to be your best presentation so far. You gave us a chance to see this cemetery with a beautiful narration of its history. The footage you got is top notch. Fantastic work.
This was amazingly done. Just beautiful.You got us in and we are in. Great job.
Probably the BEST tour of this cemetery I have ever seen. Well done my friend, you consistently exceed my expectations. I hope that one day you will do a video on the exquisite and historic cemetery in Cleveland, Lakeview Cemetery. I am sure you would enjoy it and do it justice.
thanks Robin. well, I have to come there someday...I mean, thats where my logo resides, I really want to see the Haserot Angel in person!!
Wow! What a beautiful perspective to share the history of the place this way. This is amazing. Your voice over and the music is respectful and peaceful and interesting.
Wow amazing piloting skills Ron. Thanks for taking us along on the trip back in time.
What a delightful intro!
I especially like the mechanized violins 😊
In the late 90 s we lived in NO, so I've been here.
Back then the gates were open to all, not restricted.
Soon now I feel like looking at my old my old pics of as you've stirred memories!
You've done it justice 💙
Thank you for this information and beautiful video!!
🦋⛪🦋⛪🦋⛪🦋
This its the most amazing video I had seen today 😍🙌❤...OMG... awesome I felt like I was there....Im so happy I found your channel...keep up all the 👌👌👌 keep safe
Love the way you got in to this one Ron 🙌🏻
What a treat--I did not realize this beautiful place was in the middle of a city....great flying skills with the drone ! I , and most of the population would have surely crashed the drone.! Thank you for this piece......
Alice in chains filmed an episode of headbangers ball in that cemetary when they were in new Orleans.....
Wonderful wonderful job. Music narration and drone work. Thanks for the flight.
