Treasure Inn Lake Charles

Graveyard Protocol

by mrclay2000

Like much of Louisiana, Lake Charles is either at or barely over sea level. Graveyards throughout the state often show mausolea above ground to avoid seepage and flooding characteristic of extensive shallows. Though the graveyard depicted is nothing like the countless tombs aboveground in the necropoli of New Orleans and elsewhere, the prevailing practice is to leave much of the plot aboveground.
