Metairie Cemetery

Few cemeteries are this distinctive with unique markers, statues, mausoleums, and sepulchers housing the dead. This cemetery is known for the beautifully sculpted works of art each one contributing to the peaceful and spiritual aura of the grounds. Some are old, some are new, but they are all gorgeously rendered. There's even a special place for dearly departed pets. There is a lot of land to cover so be sure to set aside a couple of hours for your visit. (Photo by Annie Chamberlin)
