Saint Louis Cemetery

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 and 19th centuries.

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