The city looks like the are trying to keep it clean it’s a very older cemetery some of the head stone look real bad unfortunately a lot of the family members are gone so there is no one to tell the city of Orleans to fix it

This was convenient to get to — took the Canal Street car«Cemeteries» to the end and it is right on the corner. Mostly family tombs and mausoleums along the perimeter. Oldest buried we saw was around 1834, many children and infants — a testament to the lack of medicines and health care. We did see a veteran of the War of 1812.

This was a cool stop. Take the Canal St. streetcar(which is fun) to the end and bam(oy sorry, pardon the expression), you’re surrounded by cemeteries. A few of the other ones were locked so we popped into this one. Old. Creepy. Cool. Historical. Interesting. Everything is above ground. Makes you glad you’re still alive. Highlights include several firemen, a few senators and political figures, clearly some insanely rich people, and a strange unmarked mausoleum where all the tombs are numbered or lettered. Über-creepy in a sort of abandoned insane asylum way. While I find all this stuff interesting, it started to creep the husband out so we took off. I think too, the cemeteries on the northern end of the French Quarter over by Highway 10 is where we really wanted to end up. Either way, it’s a fun diversion.
