"If at the cemetery there be any unusual delay in burying the dead, caused by any unlooked for circumstances, such as the tomb proving too small to admit the coffin, it is a sign that the deceased is selecting a companion from among those present, and one of the mourners must soon die."

These flipbooks require no download (they are essentially instantaneous) and images may be viewed in full-screen size. ABOUT ST. LOUIS #1 St. Louis Cemetery #1 is the oldest and most famous of New Orleans cemeteries. All of the graves are above ground vaults; most were constructed in the 18th century and 19th century. (Doug Keister, author / photographer of Going Out in Style: The Architecture of Eternity states that "The custom of above-ground burial in New Orleans is a mixture of folklore and fact.") Famous New Orleanians buried in St. Louis #1 include the renowned Voodoo priestess Marie Laveau who is believed to be interred in the Glapion family crypt. Other notable New Orleanians here include Bernard de Marigny, the French-Creole playboy who brought the game of craps to the United States; Barthelemy Lafon, the architect and surveyor who allegedly became one of Jean Lafitte's pirates; and Paul Morphy, one of the earliest world champions of chess. The infamous Delphine LaLaurie is also believed to lay in rest here.— WIKIPEDIA about max singer Besides working in the medium of digital photography, Max Singer is also an award-winning cartoonist, illustrator, artist and designer whose work has appeared in numerous national publications including ArtNews, the NY Times and NY Magazine, to name but a few.
