WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Founded in 1865 by the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana Free and Accepted Masons, the Masonic Cemetery expresses a character distinct from the Catholic cemeteries that dominate the city. It is known for its many unusual, elaborate tombs, a reputation due in part to the cemetery’s communal nature: members of lodges pooled resources to purchase large group tombs. Occupying two oddly shaped city blocks, the cemetery is triangular in plan, with Conti Street bisecting it. The triangular footprint of the bordering streets overlaid with the cemetery’s angular internal walkways mimics the Masonic emblem of the square and compass. Cast-iron picket fences enclose its two distinct sections, while oak allées line its northern and western edges. Tombs are compactly arranged in rows parallel to Bienville Street, with a wide, paved promenade cutting through the center to provide access to smaller walkways between rows.
2.
City Park is as magical and unique as the city of New Orleans. The 1,300-acre outdoor oasis has enchanted New Orleanians since 1854, making it one of the nation’s oldest urban parks. Each year, millions of visitors stroll under the same historic oaks and picturesque moss canopies that served as the backdrop for dances, concerts and even gentlemanly duels or “affaires d’honneur” for generations.
3.
We stop at Morning Call Cafe for a restroom stop. Cafe au lait and beignets can be purchased here.
4.
On the former site of Charity Hospital’s paupers’ field, this ominous but oddly affecting circle of tombs holds the bodies of 85 unclaimed victims of the 2005 levee failures and the names of others who perished. It’s an unfussy place that’s easily missed, the better for contemplative solitude, perhaps. Surrounded by a storm-shaped series of pathways, the memorial does its duty in giving one substantial pause.

Kendel(not sure how to spell his name), was amazing. He was super kind, engaging, informative, knowledgable, and hilarious. He handled situations very calmly, professionally, and kept it real. Very authentic and genuinely good person. Felt like I was in great hands and had a great time on the trip learning and seeing the city and the cemeteries! Thank you Kendel for the awesome midnight bus ride!

They say the tour guide makes or breaks it, and he definitely delivered an awesome time :)

Bob was a great tour guide! He was informative and full of fun stories. We were able to get a drink to go at the Voo Doo lounge which is the meeting spot. We also stopped for a drink or Beignets in the middle of the tour. It was nice to use a clean restroom. We drove by a few cemeteries and were able to walk into two. It was a fun tour.

Great tour. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but extremely hilarious and lovable. He really made the effort to get to know his group and kept referring to us individually. The tour offered a lot of insight into how New Orleans buries their dead. Well worth your time.

There was no guidance on the tour we pulled up to the cemetery and pretty much walked around freely. Not to mention someone called the cops
