About This Tour

This is the tour that takes you through the gates of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, which is closed to visitors on their own. A guide leads the group along the paths between the tombs, to Marie Laveau’s and Homer Plessy’s among others, and explains why New Orleans buries its dead above ground. It isn’t a ghost tour, but it is the only way to see the Voodoo Queen’s tomb up close.

Cemetery

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1

For generations, visitors to New Orleans' oldest cemetery have marked the tomb of Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen, to ask for her help. Legends of America, a folklore site, says a sailor's ghost walks the same cemetery, still asking what became of his family's tomb.
