    I was in New Orleans the first week of June 2023. I didn't get to see this cemetery, but I took the St. Charles Avenue street car down to the Garden District to check out Lafayette Cemetery #1. I was so disappointed it was closed for renovations, but that was my own fault for not checking ahead. Still had a beautiful walk around the Garden District, though. Awesome videos! Bought you a coffee and will be sending a few more!

    My husband recommended your channel since New Orleans is my second favorite city (besides my hometown of Los Angeles) and I have gone down a serious rabbit hole learning SO MUCH I missed on previous trips! Will definitely book a tour (or 5) next trip out, but in the meantime thank you for these great videos!! I really love this style of walking tour because it's very relaxing to have on so I can at least pretend to be back in the city or as a more interesting way to spend time on the treadmill at the gym.

    I love cemeteries, and I'd like to visit Metairie when I come the end of April (I'm a huge Louis Prima fan!). I visited St. Louis #1 when I was there 5 years ago. Metairie looks very different, so I will make the journey. Quick question. Do you folks offer live tours? I've been enjoying your videos and I think spending an afternoon with any of you would be a blast! I don't see info on your site, so please let me know. Love to meet any or all of you! Cheers!

Attended Robi's Voudoo tour Thursday and had a wonderful experience. Found Robi to be knowledgeable, passionate and hilarious!

    As I'm watching this beautiful cemetery, I have a question. I'm up in Cincinnati & way above sea level. How long does it take to inter someone? I'm sure some people build their mausoleums (?) ahead of time. But what if it's an unexpected death? Are people still buried this way? I hope I don't seem...crass. I'm genuinely curious.

    • @tfred6403
      @tfred6403 Рік тому +5

      Cemeteries refer to large burial grounds that are not affiliated with a church. A graveyard, on the other hand, refers to a burial ground that is located on a church’s property. Graveyards since attached to the churches may have stipulations that only members of that particular faith be buried there. Cemeteries, on the other hand are secular.
