I am guessing no one yet, at least let's hope not. While walking through St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 during my recent vacation in New Orleans, a fellow tourist pointed out to me a new tomb. I was told, as he had been a few moments earlier, that this stone pyramid had just been built and paid for by Nicholas Cage. Apparently he plans to be buried there someday.

A later web search confirmed that this is at least a well circulated rumor... An interesting encounter nonetheless. Below are some more pictures from the cemetery.
Most of the tombs in this cemetery are in rather poor repair. This is not surprising considering some of these date back to the 1700's and most probably have no living family in the area to maintain them. At any rate, it was kind of sad to see some of these quite literally crumbling.
