The first cemetery in New Orleans designed for aboveground burial was the St. Louis #1 cemetery, which opened in 1789. Some accounts claim it was modeled after Paris’s famous Père-Lachaise cemetery, and there can be no doubt that the two bear a strong resemblance to each other. But Père-Lachaise wasn’t used as a cemetery until 1804, so that resemblance may be coincidental. Be that as it may, there is a significant difference that goes beyond the superficial similarities. At Père-Lachaise, the visible structures are, for the most part, just monuments; the bodies themselves are usually placed in vaults in the floors of the tombs. In New Orleans, however, bodies are usually placed inside the walls of the tombs. Because of the hot, subtropical climate, the tomb then effectively becomes an oven, and the high heat causes the body to decompose rapidly in a process that has been compared to a slow cremation. Within about a year, only bones are left. https://itotd.com/articles/453/new-orleans-c
Nope your in kind of an oven the guy that was with us at on the tour of the cemetery said your body basically Cooks in there I can't put another one in there for a minimum of two years even if it's one year and 364 days they still have to wait that extra day before they can put another member in there of a family member into the tomb
No. You are laid to rest in a tomb.
Not really.
