Left on a Grave at Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans 2

by hankinslawrenceimages | Oct 18, 2017 | Cemeteries, Louisiana

One of the things I noticed on my first visit to Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans was all the little mementos left on the tombs I saw everything from Mardi Gras Beads to little stuffed animals on the curbs of the graves. I recently shared some of my photos in this series, I thought I’d share the rest of them with you today.

One of the historic cemeteries I’ve visited in New Orleans is the famous St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Established in the 1700’s, this is the oldest active cemetery in New Orleans. It has been featured in numerous movies and TV shows. I thought I’d share a few of my photos from this historic cemetery with you today.

Last summer I spent a morning photographing at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. Established in the 1840s, Hollywood Cemetery is the burial grounds for two U.S. Presidents, the only President of the Confederacy and 28 Confederate Generals. Located along the banks of the James River, it has long been the most prestigious cemetery in the Richmond area.
