John was cool. Loaded with information! Never realized how many specific groups were interred within the cemetery, nor the relationship between voodoo and Catholicism. My gal and I dug it. Cheers

John was a wealth of knowledge about the unique and very economical way southerners deal with their dead. I had no idea each tomb could hold so many people. It’s definitely worth a visit.
