Founded in 1854, St. Louis #3 is filled with beautiful statues and imposing tombs. Very clean, well kept and a favorite of the tour buses. The front portion of the cemetery is inhabited by many angel statues, the back portion offers solitude. While St. Louis #3 is similar to East coast cemeteries in it's planned, wide paths, the architecture still reflects that of New Orleans. Tombs of interest include the Thrain gravesite "here everyday except Halloween night" and the Gallier cenotaph- A memorial to architect James Gallier and his wife who died when the steamer "Evening Star" sank on a trip to New Orleans from New York. Also the Hellenic Orthodox Community tomb designed by Victor Huber is very striking.

Located at 3421 Esplanade Avenue
