Pictures of Death

These are photos of my second visit to the St. Louise Cemetery.


This is the grave of Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen. The entire grave is covered in these X's for when people ask her to grant their wishes.


Some of her offerings include: Taaka vodka, tea, eggs, hairbrushes, Newport cigarettes, candles, flowers, teddy bears, and lots of pennies.


This is the future tomb of Nicholas Cage. Why a pyramid? Was National Treasure really that great of an accomplishment?


This is the tomb of the Italian club. All the drawers on the side are for your body to decay in for a year before they stuff your remains in a bag, stamp on them, and throw you into the vault with all the rest. This is where they shot part of the movie Easy Rider. It is rumored that Dennis Hopper took acid on set, jumped up on those statues, and lobbed their heads off. Since then no movie has been allowed to be filmed in this cemetery.


This is what happens when your family doesn't take care of your grave and it falls into disrepair.
