Cemeteries Galore!!!!!

After going to the Igualada site and to the Cementiri de Montjuic i decided to look at a few other cemetery's that might help me. A friend had told me about the cemeteries of New Orleans and how much she loved them.... She also said they needed to be above ground because of the flooding  Here are some of the cemeteries.

Cementiri de Montjuic  - 


Holt Cemetery - the poor mans cemetery. The only one in New Orleans that is a below ground.



Lafayette Cemetery -  Above Ground cemetery. Uses tombs and niches throughout the site.




Cypress Hill Cemetery - Above ground cemetery in New Orleans



Some Helpful Aerial view - helpful when thinking about spacing.





A few random cemeteries that i found cool and helpful





Our burial chambers are built over three levels: 
Level G: is for heavy or large bodies*
Level 1: is for normal sized bodies*.
Level 2: for small or elderly frail bodies*.
