St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 | 4K New Orleans Cemetery Tour

In this video, Daniel, a tour guide with Free Tours by Foot New Orleans, leads you on a preview of our tour of St. Louis Cemetery #3 in New Orleans. MORE NOLA VIDEOS • New Orleans Virtual Tours .
Built to beautify death in the aftermath of a yellow fever epidemic, St. Louis Cemetery #3 is one of the great showcases of New Orleans’ above-ground burial tradition, with monuments that sometimes rival the homes of the living.
Those tombs in this City of the Dead honor New Orleanians of many kinds, including the wealthy Creoles who controlled much of 19th-century life, free people of color whose mixed-race birth landed them in a caste largely unknown elsewhere in the U.S., and groups of hopeful immigrants who banded together in both life and death.

    My family tomb is in this cemetery. Luckily, we haven't needed to use it since the early 90's . My paternal grandfather's Aunt was the first to be interred there in the mid 60"s at the ripe age of 104.

Daniel is great with a crowd and you can really tell he loves his job which makes the experience really fun for all involved. Time very, very well spent. Absolutely recommend.

    I captured the most amazing , unexpected photo of a spirit family hiding at this cemetery in Sep. 2019. We weren't allowed to enter with this particular tour group so I just took random pics standing at the gate of the entrance and reviewed them when I returned home and was completely dumbfounded. Its shows an african american women and child crouched against a wall of a masoleum with a man and what almost looks like a spirit child floating. The man was in a protective stance and they all looked so scared, still in the afterlife. So sad... My mind was blown ! I love New Orleans more than a fat kid loves cake! Thanks for the great video.

    Former NOLA resident here. I really, really, love your videos. The photography and commentary are just spectacular, and bring me home every time. One thing: where else do tourists visit cemeteries? Paris - they're remarkably like NOLA's. And everywhere the Spanish colonized, the cemetery style and tomb reuse is similar. I live in Cuenca, Ecuador (the French (Spanish Quarter) of South America LOL - another big ol' rectangle) and the cemetery is the same here too. So something you could mention is that NOLA inherited the European style of burial with virtually no change. And of course as you say many times, the method adapted perfectly to the area's conditions. So it's another thing that makes NOLA cemeteries unique in North America - but they're just like their European forbears.
