@celestialjenna's Review of Saint Roch Cemetery #1 - Campo Santo - New Orleans, Louisiana

Ever wonder why New Orleans cemeteries are called Cities of the Dead? Walk through St. Rock Cemetery No. 1 and the nickname starts to make sense. Tombs line the paths almost like houses along a street. family tombs could hold generations, while wall vaults were almost like apartments for the dead. The many tombs can be reused. Thank you. After the required waiting period, remains can be moved into the lower part of the tomb, making room for another family member. So when you walk through St. Rock, you're not just passing tombs. You're walking through a city built to hold generations of memories.
