Since Halloween and All Saint's Day are upon us, I thought a thread with pictures/stories about family tombs would be fun.

I'll start with this one, it belongs to my greatx3 Fallon grandparents, who came over from Roscommon with their kids to New York in 1840 and ended up in Pass Christian, MS. Sadly, this tomb "ain't dere no more" due to Hurricane Katrina.

Well, that is cool! This is the Aldige tomb (it has my greatx3 Aldiges and my greatx2 Aldige-Hindermanns in it). Anyway, it has quite a story. You notice that the topper is weeping angels on a sinking ship? My greatx3 grandmother, Alice, was on the La Bourgogne when it was shipwrecked in 1898, along with a daughter and granddaughter. Her husband died when they were in France in 1893. She brought his body back...on the La Bourgogne. Three years before she was to die on it! Her husband, Jules, was in St. Louis 3 but, when Jules Jr. had this big tomb built in Metairie Lawn Cemetery, he move Jules Sr. there (Jules Sr.'s body got transported. A lot.)

Very nice. I really like the second picture with the greenery. If they were Catholic, you might find that out in the archdiocese records. I know I had some luck on the Creole side in the Archdiocese of NOLA records. It will sometimes say where they were from in the marriage record or something (Champagne region, Bordeaux, etc.).
