Yes, in New Orleans when you die you go into a tomb.

the oldest cemeteries here are below ground. There isnt any real reason anymore other than tradition for above ground crypts; concrete sarcophagi arent affected by water.

You go into an above ground tomb and you get the top bunk. When another relative dies they push your remains into the pit with 10 - 15 other relatives.
