This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Join a guided cemetery walking tour led by a New Orleanian whose ancestors are buried in these very grounds, offering a perspective few others can share.

You will be surprised by what you learn as you walk among above ground family tombs, coping tombs, society tombs, and the original wall vaults that define our unique burial landscape.

Along the way, your guide explains local customs such as the careful rotation of remains within family tombs and how multiple generations are respectfully interred in spaces built for only a few, all while sharing personal stories and correcting long-standing myths.

This evocative, deeply informative experience connects history, memory, and community.

You will not find a more personal or meaningful cemetery tour than with DuPont and Company Tours.

We keep the light on for our ancestors by telling their stories.
