● About
For Tombs, that we love
All funds raised go to the restoration of New Orleans’ historic tombs. There is no overhead, no rent, no salaries, just tomb renovation and beautification. You can take pride in knowing that your complete donation goes directly to the preservation of some of New Orleans’ most unique and important architecture and art.
We work with the lead preservationists in New Orleans who are masters and stewards in their fields.

When she’s not writing, researching, or sharing her love of New Orleans history, Asher enjoys spending time with her family and friends, eating and drinking at as many local restaurants and bars as she can, dancing to brass band music, making quilts for her loved ones, and walking along the bayou with her two amazing dogs Huckleberry and Zuzu. Her upcoming book Flaming Hearts, Weeping Angels: Secrets & Symbolism in New Orleans Cemeteries will be out in the fall of 2026.
