Metairie Cemetery
New Orleans, Louisiana (LA), US
Metairie Cemetery is a historic cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, founded in 1872. The name has caused some people to mistakenly presume it is located in Metairie, Louisiana, but it is located within the New Orleans city limits on Metairie Road - formerly on the banks of the since filled-in Bayou Metairie. Before becoming a cemetery, the site was a horse racing track. Many famous people currently reside here, including author Anne Rice, and Alvin Copeland who founded Popeye's Chicken but died of a massive heart attack in 2008.
