Cemetery Tour New Orleans
New Orleans cemeteries are unique in the “recycling and rotation” of our loved ones in our family tombs. Room for 2 coffins doesn’t stop us from burying hundreds in that same spot.
On our cemetery tour we will show you around one of our most famous "Cities of the Dead". We invite you to come along with us and visit our family tombs as we tell you about our burials, funerals and the stories of those entombed.
We keep the light on for our ancestors by telling their stories.
Your guide will be a New Orleanian that has ancestors buried in the cemetery you visit.
Come with us on this 90 minute visitation. Walk among the dead and leave feeling more alive than ever.
