Safety warning!
St. Louis Number Two is, in our opinion, the most dangerous cemetery in New Orleans. It's literally surrounded by public housing projects that are known for being high-crime areas. This is NOT a place for casual wanderers to venture into. If you're looking to get a feel for New Orleans cemeteries, there are safer places to go. If you're looking for something specific from here, contact us, and we'll see if we can get a photo for you up here on the site.
