New Orleans Cemeteries | A Virtual Metairie Cemetery Walking Tour

Andrew drives us through this stunning 65-acre cemetery built on a former horse-racing track.

When it was dedicated in 1872, the trend in cemeteries in the Eastern United States was toward rural memorial parks with landscaped grounds, lakes, and pathways. This aesthetic, combined with New Orleans flair for ornamented, above-ground tombs, creates a cemetery that one can explore all day.

Excellent tour packed with historical information. Well done!

When I was an undergrad at Tulane back in the '80s, I would often study for exams in one of the cemeteries. It was always peaceful and no disruptions.

Why is this not the most popular channel on YouTube! I just discovered it and am binging the series! Great job, Andrew! You are awesome!

[michellebreen]

I love exploring cemeteries especially in the New Orleans area. Great tour, thanks!

I come from Glasgow and lived RIGHT next to a place called "The Necropolis". Wonderful place to just have a stroll amongst the merchants graves and to see the expensive monuments and headstones that are some impressive masonry. This seems right at home to me.

Thanks for this. It was just what I needed. I am being laid to rest in New Orleans. Unfortunately, I've been kept from home. I've been feeling very homesick where I am. This made me feel at peace, and it was super cool to get some history. They're so beautiful. An honorable death is my privilege and getting one of these memorials is its blessing. Thank you Louisiana. I love y'all and God bless.

I’ve been watching these videos over the last couple of days and love them! Andrew shares his city with so much obvious knowledge and affection, I wish I could be on a plane tomorrow. I did visit many years ago. Never made it out to Metairie Cemetery, but did see St Louis no. 1 and Lafayette. Gorgeous city, great tour!

[Sumermak]

Super cool. I for one am a lover of cemeteries, and I enjoy walking in them and learning about people who have died.

[andrewschmitz]

Your tours are so good because they respect the history of this city, esp was happy to see Voodoo, Hoodo, aware many ways exist, shown as a beautiful thing.
