Обзор
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.

We booked a private tour of Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery directly through Save Our Cemeteries so that we could go on the day that worked best for us during our short stay. They were super accommodating, and it wasn't prohibitively expensive for our group of 6. Our guide, Glenn, met us by the Law Enforcement Memorial and waited while we got our mom situated on her mobility scooter. He was patient with our pacing and questions throughout the tour, and thoughtful with where he stopped (shade!). He showed us the final resting places of famous families, but also did a good job of pointing out different architectural styles and building materials. Glenn is a lifelong New Orleanian and had much to share both in terms of historical knowledge and personal connections. We learned so much, not just about the history and personalities of New Orleans, but also about burial traditions and the funeral industry. It was an amazing morning. Would highly recommend!

On May 12, 2024, I had the pleasure of taking the guided tour of Metairie Cemetary. Visiting this cemetary had long been on my list of places to visit on New Orleans, and I'm so glad I did. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Glenn was our guide, a lifelong New Orleanian who shared fascinating stories of some of the cemetary's residents as well the history of the cemetary itself. I can't recommend this tour enough if you're looking to get more from a visit to the cemetary than just a stroll among the tombs.

What an amazing start to our day. A casual stroll full of so much history, amazing stories and interesting facts! Glenn was fantastic, we could have listened to him share the stories of the cemetery all day!
