Antoine's - French Quarter

New Orleans - Saint Louis Cemetery

Saint Louis Cemetery is the name of three Roman Catholic cemeteries in New Orleans, Louisiana. All of these graves are above ground vaults; most were constructed in the 18th century and 19th century.

The custom of above-ground burial in New Orleans is a mixture of folklore and fact.[1]

The vaults are in fact more due to French and Spanish tradition than they are to water table problems.[2]


Nicholas Cage's Tomb

Apparently they repossessed his two Nola homes, but not his tomb. So he's set. There are strict guidelines about the cemetery real estate, have to hire a sculptor to put up your monument.
