Cemeteries in New Orleans are "above ground" since the land is at or near sea level and the water table is high. Prior to doing this, bodies were buried and they would later "float" back to the surface. The cemetery pictured here, Lafayette No. 1, was founded in 1833. It is located in the Uptown Garden District.
