From the edge of the French Quarter to the heart of the bayou, "New Orleans Cemeteries" is a journey through her phenomenal cemeteries. Robert and Mason Florence depict the "cities of the dead" in all their grandeur and decay, their exquisite artisanship and humble memorials, their voluminous historical accounts of the city and undefinable spiritual qualities. This book follows the renowned tradition of New Orleans's multiple, aboveground burial from the founding of St. Louis Cemetery #1 in 1789 to All Saints' Day observances of recent years.
