Overview

As a department of the Preservation Resource Center, Save Our Cemeteries is the only non-profit tour operator directly supporting restoration, education, and advocacy in New Orleans cemeteries.

No city honors life – and death – like New Orleans, and few cemeteries in the world are as captivating as Metairie Cemetery. As the official tour provider for Metairie Cemetery, we are excited to share it with you.

This historic space is famed for its grand monuments, temples, and structures, which are the final resting places of more than 100,000 people across 127 acres.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, you’ll learn the stories of New Orleans’ most influential citizens, including nine Louisiana governors, seven New Orleans mayors, more than 80 kings and queens of Carnival, musicians Louis Prima and Al Hirt, and writer Anne Rice. As Metairie’s Cemetery’s official tour provider, join us and our expert licensed tour guide on a walk through history.
