This cemetary was in the middle of the Garden District also included in our tour.
Looking down the main walkway.
This next little road crossed over the main one but what I found interesting was that it led right up to someones side yard. I don't think I could live in this house.
The way that they bury was very interesting. This crypt had a broken front stone the tour guide told us that if you looked in the opening you could see the casket down in the ground. I didn't look. There is only one casket inside everyone else has been bagged and tagged (her words).
This type of plot is for people who prefer or for religious reasons have to be buried underground. There is no vault they just dig up the dirt under the stones and bury in a wood box. This leaves a mound of dirt over the top but as the body and box decompose the dirt levels out until it is flat like this one is.
