Today I visit Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans. This has to be the most interesting cemetery I've visited, and easily the largest. There are quite a few local celebrities and their families buried here. Some of the tombs are very large, and very beautiful. Take a trip with me inside the cemetery.

Wow I've lived 30 minutes away all my life and never new how beautiful this was

@mariesmith599 6 лет назад

This was what I was able to find out about the Brunswig Tomb for you. Lucien Napoleon Brunswig was a pharmaceutical millionaire, and when his young son and wife died within a month of each other he had them buried in a pyramid. A sphinx guards its doorway along with a woman delivering a libation urn; a winged orb chiseled over its entrance offers divine protection.

@NOLADEEJ 7 лет назад

+Russell Cox Thank you! Yeah, that was my favorite part. It was locked up, but the groundskeeper asked me if I would like to go inside, so he unlocked it for me!

@lisellesloan3191 5 лет назад

It's beautiful, and based on one in Italy, which was based on a sculptor's grief for his late wife, whose children encouraged him to do a more sculptural memorial to their mother, as befitting his usual art.

That was the most amazing cemetery Ive ever seen. I especially liked the Pete Fountain grave. He was my idol growing up on the clarinet, my first instrument back in the 60's. I have a nice collection of his early works, on vinyl, after he left Lawrence Welk. He had amazing tone like he was blowing into a barrel. Never read a note of music!

Really nice. It's a beautiful cemetery and the angel of grief is very touching. Thanks for the video. The diversity in resting places is fascinating from simple home made displays to incredible expensive ways of remembering your loved ones, the Egyptian tomb, the castle, the Confederate tomb. Very nice.

@ChrisAldridge 5 лет назад

The pyramid was a very sacred funerary structure for the Egyptians. They believed that the human spirit would travel up through the tip and into the heavens, which is why the tip points to the sky. The person in the tomb was probably a Kemetic Polytheist or someone whose religious or spiritual life was heavily influenced by ancient Egypt.

@AlexS-oj8qf 3 года назад

Or simply a cultured person with fascination to Egyptology

Old cemeteries are fascinating, and the mausoleums and crypts are artistically beautiful. But I have sometimes wondered what the cost was or is to build them? In this day and age, I would think the mausoleum and statuary would come at a price of many thousands of dollars, easily 5, even 6 figures! Astounding.

Many people might recognize Louie Prima from Disney's animated "The Jungle Book". He plays Louie, King of the Apes, who threatens Mowgli , but ends up doing one of the silver screens best duets: "I Want to Be Like You", with Phil Harris, as the musicly mesmerized Baloo the Bear. Phil wasn't the only one mesmerized, and this beloved song got many covers over the years.

@NOLADEEJ 4 года назад

Well the tomb you're thinking of is in St Louis #1 and is also a pyramid tomb. He had it made specifically for him. He did own a house here, and I believe at one point he owned the LaLaurie Mansion in the Quarter which has a horrible history to it.

Why are there so many tombs? Has it got something to do with soil issues? Here in Australia only the Greeks and Italians tend to use the big tombs and the rest either bury or cremate our dead.
