Abstract
B&W photo, 1970s. Bayou Lafourche cemetery near Napoleonville Louisiana. Written on photo: In olden days, burial in South Louisiana was above ground, because much of the land is below sea level causing graves to fill with water. Surface tombs were therefore necessary, and in former times each family used the same tomb for many generations through the simple expedient of burning coffins after a suitable time and depositing bones in a crypt. Modern drainage makes interrment in the ground possible, but long-established custom often prevails even yet. The cemetery is located along Bayou Lafourche, near Napoleonville.
