Did you know? Above ground burial and below ground burial in New Orleans do sit side by side. Its a lie that we cant or don’t bury preople in the earth! People may say we can’t, but we always have and we always will! Whether you are in a fabulous black marble sarcophagi or below the earth as here m, with this dramatic Celtic cross above, it is all a matter of choice -and budget! The dead are close at hand everywhere in NOLA! The above ground stylings of the Latin Catholic overlords architectural influence was also practical with the reuse factor in the highest mortality rated city in 19th century USA. The undead are below the ground, in the streets, in the courtyards and pop up in most unusual places - almost everywhere you go, and definitely below the ground in our cemeteries! #taphophile #graveyard #tour #spirit #didyouknow #cemeteryexploring #voodooqueenbloodymary #NOLA #fy
