 St. Louis I and II Tombstone Collection: In the 1980s, The Historic New Orleans Collection and Save Our Cemeteries joined forces to collect the hundreds of fragmented tombstones scattered throughout St. Louis I and II Cemeteries. After extensive research to return as many pieces as possible to the correct tombs, the remainder of the tombstone were placed in storage. What follows is a database of inscriptions collected from these tablets that were unable to be returned to their tombs. If you find an ancestor here, contact Save Our Cemeteries at 504-525-3377 so the tombstone can be placed in your care. Many thanks to The Historic New Orleans Collection for their role in saving and documenting these important pieces of New Orleans history.
