St. Louis Cemetery No. 3
St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 opened for burials in 185,1. It is sometimes called the
Bayou Cemetery because it is located on a high stretch ofland along the Esplanade Rjdge
near Bayou St. John This Cemetery is larger than both St. Louis Nos. 1 and 2 combined
and one of twelve city cemetedes owned and operated by the Archdiocese of New
Orleans. (TIis is counting each numbered cemetery as a separate cemetery and not as
one.) Besides its immense size, it is one of the most active cemeteries in the City
averaging a burial a day or over 350 a year, and has an interesting number ofvery old and
very new tombs and mausoleums.
St. Louis No. 3 has it all: above ground Family tombs and copings, Society
tombs, Wall vaults, multi-burial Mausoleums, and unique "townhomes" with party-walls;
Tombs of architectural significance and style, classical Greek and Roman, Gothic,
Egyptian, Baroque, Byzantire, and tombs ofgranite rubble and unique precast concrete;
Sculptures and funerary symbolism is plentiful. One writer noted that "there are so many
angels one can almost hear the beat oftheir wings."
History:
No. 3 is located near the end ofEsplanade Avenue not far from the
City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art. The main aisles are named for saints,
St. Louis Cemetery
while the cross aisles are named for variolls clerics in the church"St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 had its beginnings in 1848 when an Act was passed by
Legislature in March of thal year under q'hich the City Council pdvileged the Cathedral
wardens to establish a new cemetery. The next yeat on June 8, 1949, the wardens
boLrght from Felix Labatut a tract ofland on Esplanade "two arpents wide by 14 arpents
deep for one and 16 for the other arpent" near bayou St. John. (An atpent is an old
measure of land in France, equal to about an acre). The pdce was $15,000 and the
wardens used money that the City had set aside for this purpose when they were
dispossessed ofSquare 38 ofst. Louis Cemetery No. 2 in 1846. The authorization by the
City to establish the new cemetery was accepted by the wardens in December of 1850. It
was not, however, until 1854 that the wardens advertised for bids for clearing the land
and building fences and an entrance gate.
The plan for the first two "squares" of the new cemetery called for three main
aisles, the center being named for Saint Louis and the other two for Saint Peter and Saint
Paul, four smaller parallel aisles or allees were named alier Saint Mary, Saint Joseph,
Sairt Magdalene, and Saint Philomene. After the cemetery was in use for some years, on
Apdl 14, 1865, a new plan was developed by J.A. D'Hemecou4 surveyor, which greatly
extended the depth ofthe burial grounds. The main aisle was increased in width by 10
feet at the expense ofthe two side allees so that the cemetery presents a rather uncrowded
appearance despite its multitude ofclosely built tombs.
The cross aisles for the new plan were named for bishops and archbishops ofthe
diocese-Penalver, Dubourg DeNeckere, Blac, Odin (and later Perche and Leray)
D'Hemecoun's plan envisioned a sma11 cruciform chapel at the entrance. This was never
built and the land was later sold as tomb sites. D'Hemecourt calculated that there wele
2,580 "emplacements pow tombes" (sites for tombs) and room to build 5,176 wall
vaults."
In the 1980's, St. Loujs III was expanded to its present size increasing the number
of squares fiom three to five full squares and 250% of square 6. There are approximately
10,000 multiple-use burial sites which include 5,000 in condoiike Mausoleums, 3,000
wall vaults, 1,500 to 2,000 individual Family tombs, and about twelve Society tombs of
which six to eight are considered active in 2007.
Special regulations:
for City bus tours. lt is one of
the most active cemeteries in the City averaging a burial everyday. Because it is so
active, guides and their visitors must take extra precautions when visiting this cemetery.
St. Louis Cemetery

a convenient and popular stop
The Archdiocese requests that tour groups should only use the far side pedestrian gates
when ente.ing and exiting the cemetery. The center vehicle gate and aisle must be Ieft
CLEAR at all times to accommodale funerals. Avoid center-ajsle congestion or
gathering ofyour group, especially at Mother Teresa's statue.
Parking spaces for coaches are clearly outlined. Do not allow the coach to block the
center vehicle driveway to the cemetery nor driveways of nearby residences nor fire
hydrants.
Remember, intement seffices are the main function ofrhe cemeteries Tour guides and
tourists, please respect this and avoid an area of the cemetery where a burial service is
taking place. The services are usually briel ten to fifteen minutes- A hearse, cats in the
aisles, people dressed-to-attend a service, flowers on a tomb are visual indicators. Your
cooperation is important and app.eciated.

Gates:
The main entrance to St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 is ornamented by a set of very
heavy gates tlpical ofNew Orleans cast ton work. These were fabricated by Francis
Lurges, a well known maker ofornamental iron. Originally, there was an arch over the
top ofthe gates that was very ornamental, however, the arch is missing today. There are
separate side enfance gates for pedestdaos located further away fiom the main gate.
Statues:
There are several religious statues throughout this cemetery that are not
necessarily associated with a specific tomb. Many of the statues have been purchased
and donated 10 the cemetery by individuals.

Pittsburgh. It was installed in the cemetery in 2002 and is inscribed: "This humble
capuchin friar surprised the world with his life totally dedicated to prayer and to listening
to his brothers and sisters. His body marked by the stigmata (5 wounds of Christ)
demonstrated the intimate connection between death and resurection."

Louis No. 3. "To date, (1996), 58 Little Sisters have been put to rest in that tomb."
Margaret, however, is not buried in this tomb. From 1E68 or\ the sisters stopped by
Margafet's Bakery regularly, and Margaret filled their wagon with rounded loaves of
bread, which they in tum brought to the old people ofthe city. In the 1860s and 1870s,

IMap #2. #4,#5, #6. The Chefs Corner is located to the left of the center gate of the
cemetery. The nickname comes from the fact that some the names on the tombs are the
same as those associated with New Orleans restaunnts and spices. However, as far as it
is known, these .re common old New Orleans family names, and it is not known if the
families are the same as those in the food and spices businesses.

his trade from his father, Prosper Foy, who had come to Louisiana from his native .
France. Florville's mother was Eloise Aubry, a free woman ofcolor. AAer studying in -(-*
France, Florville returned to New orleans and joined his father's firm. When Prosper flJ
retired in the late 1830's, Florville opened his own marble yard. By the 1850s his
prosperous business employed eight other stonecutters. The inscription on the tomb,
"Family ofProsper Fol' is confusing as his father is not buried here. It does indicate that
Florville intended the tomb lor himself and other descendants ofhis fathet Prosper. (see

Map #9 James Gallier Sr. 1795-1866. This is one ofthe most interesling monuments in
St. Louis No. 3. Itwas erected by James Gallier Jr. (1827-1868) to honor the lives of
his father and stepmother. The cenotaph employs baroque design leatures such as
ornamental spirals and curving brackets and bears the inscription:

Both Galliers were prominent architects. James Gallier Sr.'s most important work still to
be seen in the City is Gallier Hall (1845) fomer City Hall ofNew Orleans for nearly a
century, on St. Charles Avenue and the Leeds-Davis Building on Tchopitoulas Street
(1853) headquarters ofthe Preservation Resource Center.
The base of the cenotaph is the crypt of James Gallier Jr. and other family
members. James Gallier Jr. died in 1868, only two years after his father. A plaque at
the rear ofthe base reads "Elizabeth the wife of J. Gallier died August 8, 1843, aged 47
years." She was the first wife ofJames Sr. and the mother ofJames Jr. Since the date of
her death precedes the establishment of St. Louis 3, this plaque probably came from
another cemetery. James Gallier Jr.'s 1857 House on Royal Street in the French Quatter
is a museum house open for tours.

Map #31 Woods, Monsignor Earl Chude 1925-2002 was named Chancellor of the
Archdiocese of Ne\{ Orleals in 1962, a position which he held until his retirement 30
yea.s later. As chancellor, one of his responsibilities dealt with historic properties, and
he developed an interest in historic preservation. He directed the restoration of the
Ursuline Convent 1960-75. Upon his 1992 retirement, Woods moved back to Faubourg
St. John, his childhood neighborhood, and remained active in Our Lady of the Rosary
Church on Esplanade Avenue.
Monsignor Woods then began an ambitious agenda ofcemetery preservation. He
set about raising funds and restored about 50 historic tombs in St. Louis Cemetery No. 3.
His close friendship with Monsignor Edward Lawence Boudreaux, 1915-1997,
ofour Lady ofthe Rosarv Church led them to become tomb mates. Woods saw a "For
Sale" sign on a tomb made of Georgia marble and asked Father Boudreaux to split the
cost. Father Boudreaux wanted to be buried in the bottom vault because the roof
deteriorates first. Then he was concerned that he might not fit, so they measured and the
coffin he had already selected would fit.
