New Orleans Cemeteries

New Orleans Cemeteries: Life in the Cities of the Dead | Robert Florence

#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

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

New Orleans Cemeteries: Life in the Cities of the Dead | Robert Florence

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

Mdargusch Thankfully so there aren‘t bodies floating down the street every time there is a flood. 6y

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. 😱 6y

britt_brooke The cemeteries there are so beautiful. 💚 6y
