And are were happy to be able to support an organization devoted to preservation of this New Orleans institution.
Going on a Save our Cemeteries tour not only helps preserve the cemeteries of New Orleans, which are unlike any I've ever seen but also ensures you're getting an authentic view of the cemeteries. Help support their cause!
Going on a Save our Cemeteries tour not only helps preserve the cemeteries of New Orleans, which are unlike any I've ever seen but also ensures you're getting an authentic view of the cemeteries. This isn't some hokey, haunted tour. This is a historical tour through a historic cemetery in a part of New Orleans with an incredibly vibrant history.
I'm glad that this organization uses funds raised by their cemetery tours to repair and restore tombs in need of care.
Save our cemeteries is not only a great way to see New Orleans cemeteries but also to provide local financial support for them.
They are a strong resource for information about New Orleans cemeteries. Established organization. Very professional. Great mission, great work.
I'm originally from New Orleans and have known about Save Our Cemeteries for years. I remember my uncle used to talk about them since we have ancestors buried in Lafayette cemetery #1. I came back to town a few weeks ago and decided to take a cemetery tour with them and I'm really glad I did. The tour-guide (I forget her name) was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I learned things about the cemeteries I never even knew, and I grew up here. No ghost stories, just history and facts. I learned a lot! I recommend taking a tour with Save Our Cemeteries for anyone who really wants to learn about our cemeteries.
We found out that Save our Cemeteries was a nonprofit that gives cemetery tours so we decided to try them out. We very much enjoyed our visit to the cemetery. I would recommend this tour to friends if they decide to visit New Orleans. It was like a private tour catered to our interests as well. Save our Cemeteries is the best and I am happy we started our week in New Orleans there. We like that the money we spent goes toward cemetery restoration.
I appreciate the mission of Save Our Cemeteries, they are a great group trying to restore and preserve the historic cemeteries of New Orleans. It's good to know that the proceeds of the tour's ticket price go towards maintaining the cemetery as all tour guides are volunteers who seem to have a genuine interest in educating the tourists.
I had the privilege of helping them do a clean-up of Lafayette Cemetery #2 this past weekend for New Orleans Katrina 10 Day of Service. Save Our Cemeteries definitely has their hands full when it comes to New Orleans neglected cemeteries. I'm glad I could help out.
I loved supporting the cause of Save Our Cemeteries. Their cemetery tours are interesting and educational.
As a native of New Orleans, I love our cemeteries. They are national treasures and fascinating places to connect with the past. New Orleans is a unique place, it's history is unlike any other city in the U.S. and this is reflected in its unique burial practices. I'm glad Save Our Cemeteries are around to protect them.
Excellent organization! Our Save Our Cemeteries tour of St. Louis Cemetery #1 was an hour-plus well spent with an organization that truly cares about the well-being of these unique places of New Orleans history. We'd take the tour again!
I go to New Orleans every year for my birthday because it's the place that makes my heart happy! Every year I make it a point to go to St.Louis #1 and Lafayette cemeteries. I am always happy to see restoration work being done by Save Our Cemetaries! It's such a shame to see some of the tombs in various stages of disrepair. Thankfully,organizations such as Save our Cemetaries is ready to pitch in and preserve part of what makes New Orleans such a special place. I am planning on moving to this great city within 2 years and I will be donating some of my time to SOC. a truly worthy cause! Thanks you all for keeping it the way it was meant to be!
