St. Louis Number Two
A typical multi-vault tomb from St. Louis Number Two
As the city grew, so did the need for more burial space. St. Louis Number Two was opened in 1823, and is the city’s second-oldest cemetery.

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.
