Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 is located in New Orleans' Garden District and was established in 1833. On a single block, there are approximately 1,100 family plots, many of which have been used for generations. The cemetery is known for its dense development, clearly structured pathways, and some of the elaborately designed gravesites. The site has been used as a filming location several times: scenes for Interview with the Vampire, Double Jeopardy, The Originals, and Dracula 2000, among others, were shot here.

Historic 19th-century cemetery with above-ground tombs & statuary characteristic of the area.
Address: 1416-1498 Washington Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA.

I visited in October 2018, and it was very warm, so make sure you have water. There was a guy selling small bottles for one dollar so not bad, and it was cool. The Cemetery is large and well worth a visit.

Opening hours 9 AM to 3PM. Well worth the visit. Very old gravestones and a few newer ones.
