Great cemetery, with some beautiful monuments. Great place to go for some amazing history.
Beautiful cemetery from 1840, established by the Firemen's Charitable Association, with many beautiful and interesting ancient monuments. Note the entrance gateway in Egyptian style designed in 1840 by Frederick Wilkinson.
It’s a great cemetery with so much history and the cemetery was made even better because the tour guide, I went with my girlfriend while in NOLA. We went during the day in August with great temperature to walk around and the experience was great.
This was my very first time visiting this historic site. What I found to be the most interesting, is it’s architectural tombs. So much time, and Effort was put into each design making each tomb and tomb stone, one of a kind. It was like being transported to a different year.... perhaps the 1800s. I’ve never been quite as intrigued as I was here!
I would definitely recommend taking a light stroll.
This site is free and open to the public. You will encounter at least one pan handler. They come with the territory. He said he worked for the cemetery and was asking for donations. I wasn’t carrying cash on me but he inspired me to donate to the cemetery via their website so all was well.

Warto wsiąść w tramwaj i tutaj podjechać.
Beautiful cemetery, grounds are well kept, although several tombs have fallen into disrepair. Fireman's section in front and some extremely ornate tombs. Right off the streetcar line so there is usually people wandering around.
To find the secret of death is to seek it in the heart of life. A owl whose night bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
Open your heart into the body of life; then shall you find the spirit of death, for life and death are one.
The fear of death is the trembling of a shepherd when he stands before the King whose hand is to be laid upon him in Honour.
To stand naked in the wind and free the breath from its restless tide so it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered.
Love is truly known!
