Ovens

Famous above-ground family tombs in the historic St. Louis cemetery
off Basin Street. Multiple family members are added as they pass
away, with the minimum "year and a day" rule, after which the tomb can
be opened for the next member to add. The entombed will be reduced to
dust in about a year in the intense heat. You have to be Catholic to
be buried in a cemetary in New Orleans...
