Istre Cemetery Grave Houses
The Istre Cemetery Grave Houses are three historic grave houses located in Istre Cemetery in Morse, Louisiana. The houses are the only three known surviving examples of traditional Acadiana grave houses. The structures were built in 1925, 1935, & circa 1900; they each resemble a small gable-roofed house. Grave shelters were a fairly common burial tradition among the French Cajun settlers of Louisiana; local history researchers Josh and Jeremy Broussard estimate that at least forty grave houses once stood in the region, and twelve remained in Istre Cemetery as recently as the 1980s. The significance of the grave houses is uncertain; historians have variously proposed that the houses were a form of protection or a local interpretation of burial vaults. The houses resemble the grave shelters of the Upland South, another burial tradition with obscure origins, and some researchers have suggested that the former practice derives from the latter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crt.state.la.us/dataprojects/hp/nhl/attachments/Parish01/Scans/01007001.pdf )〕
The grave houses were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 2008.〔
