Ici Repose: A Guide to St. Louis Cemetery No. 2, Square 3

ByKaren Joan Kohoutek

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Ici Repose is a comprehensive visual guide to the tombs in New Orleans’ historic, predominantly African-American St. Louis Cemetery #2, Square 3. This includes society and organization tombs (religious orders among them), and missing tombs. Each row within the cemetery is prefaced with a “you are here” map, which allows you to walk down the row, finding the names associated with each tomb, based on publicly available information which has been correlated and cross-referenced. Within the rows, there is a photo of each tomb, along with its tombstone inscriptions and historical and biographical notations. There are also translations of French inscriptions; a list of tombs that can be identified as the work of a particular stone cutter; a section on the Square’s wall vaults; and discussion of the discrepancies that have cropped up between the different sources.
