History
New Orleans’ graveyard culture developed from a high water table that required above-ground tombs; layers of French, Spanish, and African influence created the city’s distinctive funerary and ritual practices.
Conservation
The city’s fragile wetlands and raised tombs are vulnerable to flooding and erosion—respect cemetery rules, stay on marked paths, and support local preservation efforts when possible.
