Mortuary Haunted House

At the very "dead" end of world famous Canal Street lies THE MORTUARY. Built in 1872, this is a 150 year old Grand Victorian Mansion, former funeral parlor, and crematorium… surrounded by New Orleans' famed "Cities of the Dead" and sits among more than a million graves in a one-square-mile radius. "Between 1930 and 2003, more than 20,000 funerals took place within its walls, the blood and bodily fluids of the dead swirling into a drain in the embalming room deep in the basement catacombs." For many years, people from near and far journeyed to this breathtaking building to pay their last respects to dear departed loved ones.
