In this video, Daniel, a tour guide with Free Tours by Foot New Orleans, leads you on a preview of our tour of St. Louis Cemetery #3 in New Orleans. MORE NOLA VIDEOS    • New Orleans Virtual Tours  .

Built to beautify death in the aftermath of a yellow fever epidemic, St. Louis Cemetery #3 is one of the great showcases of New Orleans’ above-ground burial tradition, with monuments that sometimes rival the homes of the living.

Those tombs in this City of the Dead honor New Orleanians of many kinds, including the wealthy Creoles who controlled much of 19th-century life, free people of color whose mixed-race birth landed them in a caste largely unknown elsewhere in the U.S., and groups of hopeful immigrants who banded together in both life and death.
