Visite à pied du cimetière Lake Lawn Metairie

Aperçu

When you tour with non-profit Save Our Cemeteries you are helping to preserve and protect the historic cemeteries of New Orleans. Our tours are small and historically accurate.

Lake Lawn Metairie cemetery was named by Forbes as one of “America’s Best Cemeteries.”

This picturesque cemetery boasts some of the grandest funerary architecture and sculpture in the US. Live oaks surround greek temples, gothic and Islamic style tombs, obelisks, and marble monuments with beautiful ironwork and stained glass.

The resting place of many of New Orlean's most influential and notorious citizens, Metairie Cemetery holds the graves of over 9,000 people on 65 landscaped acres. Nine Louisiana governors, seven New Orleans mayors, 49 kings of Carnival, and three Confederate generals rest alongside madams, brothel owners, bandleaders Louis Prima and Al Hirt, vampire writer Anne Rice, and former Saints and Pelicans’ owner Tom Benson.

An easy walk. Wheelchair accessible.

I was pleasantly surprised at how great this tour was. I was originally planning to book the St Louis Tour, but I’m so glad I was able to book this tour. It was a small group with a passionate and knowledgeable guide Glenn. He provided so much insight into the history of the cemetery. I’m so glad I could support a local nonprofit that helps ensure the history of New Orleans cemetery gets shared.

This tour from Save My Cemeteries was a great experience, from the informative and entertaining guide, to the organization of the tour, to the interesting topics discuss, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour from start to finish. To start, it was easy to find the starting point at the funeral home, and the tour started promptly at the advertised time. We started out with an explanation about how and when the cemetery was founded, and quickly moved on to learn about how the different plots are made, the reasons behind some of the architectural decisions, and many more details I would have not even thought to ask about. It's especially gratifying to know that this tour is run by a non-profit whose mission is to raise funds to help other New Orleans cemeteries that do not get the funding and special attention that Metairie does. I would highly recommend!
