Sinopsis

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.
