Lafayette Cemetery

1400 block of Washington Avenue, New Orleans, LA
Tel: (504) 525-3377
 

Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans.

From the gates of this famous cemetery you can see the lavish above-ground vaults and tombs of the families that once lived in the surrounding Garden District mansions-mansions built by American newcomers when the French Creoles made them unwelcome in the older part of the city. Gates are open during working hours, but it is not advisable to walk about the grounds alone. Guided tours are offered by Save Our Cemeteries.

  • Historical, diffrent, imaginative
  • Slightly morbid

“After you get over your inital shock that it is a cemetry, the only words that can be used to discribe this place is mysticly beautiful. Its lets your imagination play away, but you alway remeber that real people, familys are buried here. Its stunning marble and the epataphs are moving. Everyone should go see it because no one else honors their dead like this. I would love to have spent more time there, but they close extremly early(2:30 ct) so if you want to spend a good amount of time their plan accordingly. It is also very intresting that Interview with a Vampire and other movies have been shot at this cemetry.”
