St Patrick Cemetery No. 2--where the priests and church officials of New Orleans are buried. 

 

At the entrance to the cemetery.  This cemetery is one of the safest cemeteries for tourists to visit.

St Patrick Cemetery No. 2 is located where Canal Street intersects with City Park Ave/Metairie Rd.  

The Canal Street streetcar line runs from the CBD to the cemeteries section of the city (just take care on what streetcar you get on--for some go to City Park and the museums).  The streetcar destination is listed on the front of the vehicle.

 

A plaque located on the front monument at the cemetery entrance.
