In addition to the New Orleans Catholic Diocese which adminstrates the St. Louis Cemeteries 1, 2, and 3, and others by offering perpetual care and other general maintenance services, there are other associations actively involved in the preservation and restoration of these cemeteries. Most noteably is Save Our Cemeteries. For mroe information, visit their website: http://www.saveourcemeteries.org.

wrong coordinates? I think this is right: 29.959416,-90.07153 (for #1) --89.246.163.145 (talk) 03:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Above-ground Burials: Tradition or Necessity?

edit

This entry as it currently stands seems to imply that south Louisiana doesn't have a problem with caskets coming unburied from below-ground burial plots. Not true. Here is a photo from yesterday, August 13 2016, from the Walker LA police depicting caskets that were washed up in flood water. [1] Walker is 60 miles northwest of St Louis Cathedral, supposedly on solid ground. European tradition may have given us the solution to the problem, but that doesn't mean the problem didn't exist. Regardless, this isn't the place to discuss. Perhaps under the monumental cemetary subarticle or in a separate article devoted to Cajun/Creole burial practices?
