About
It’s been written that this cemetery has so many angels that one can “almost hear the beat of their wings.” Twice the size of St. Louis #1 and #2 combined, St. Louis #3 is the final resting place of many notables, including the famed architect whose ship went down in a hurricane with over a hundred prostitutes and circus performers, the secret photographer of Storyville, the city’s red light district, the Poet Priest, the Angel of the Delta, and some legendary chefs who collectively advanced the Civil Rights movement, restored horse racing in New Orleans, and (for better or worse) introduced the turducken to the United States.
