Odd Fellows Rest Cemetery
Odd Fellows Rest Cemetery, Historic fraternal cemetery on Canal Street, New Orleans, United States
The cemetery spans 1.5 acres at the intersection of Canal Street and City Park Avenue, adjacent to St Patrick Cemetery Number 2.
The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows purchased this land for 700 dollars in 1847, with official dedication occurring in 1849.
Cast iron gates display fraternal symbols including widows with children, beehives, all-seeing eyes, the world, and a cornucopia representing Odd Fellows principles.
The cemetery remains closed to public access, but inquiries can be directed to the Grand Lodge of Louisiana Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
Located above the floodplain, this burial ground has remained protected from flooding throughout its existence, preserving the historical monuments within.
