New Orleans Cemeteries
New Orleans Cemeteries: Life in the Cities of the Dead | Robert Florence
2 posts | 1 to read
New Orleans Cemeteries depicts the 'cities of the dead' in all their grandeur and decay, their exquisite artisanship and humble memorials, their voluminous historical accounts of the city and undefinable spiritual qualities. The definitive book on a very curious subject, New Orleans Cemeteries is as intensely visual as it is informative.

#LetsTravelJuly Day 11: My linguist friend and I did a #Cemetery tour of New Orleans when we were there back in 2013. I even did a post here and compared them to the #cemetery in Singapore. Pretty creepy photos. https://wp.me/pDlzr-51v

OriginalCyn620 They are good photos though! 🖤⚰️ 5y
Lady_Tigana_20 I love visiting cemeteries when I‘m in an area. Both of my brothers died in childhood. I pretty much grew up going to the cemetery every Sunday until we moved out of state. 5y

Something I was excited to do on my last trip to NOLA was visit cemeteries. Because of the flooding, burial has to take place on #higherground. The ornate look of the cemeteries has always stuck out to me. I read this book back in 2010 before my trip. #getmovin

Titania I grew up on the Mississippi coast not too far from NO. We had cemeteries with above ground crypts, too, in certain areas. I remember a couple of times the flooding was bad enough to pop the cement tops resulting in caskets floating around. 😱 7y
