Some 39 years ago I took what can only be termed "snapshots" (Kodachrome 
slides) of graves in Biloxi, MS, and all  are above ground. They were 
mere yards from the Gulf itself and digging more than a foot or so would 
soon have water seeping into the hole. Thus everyone was "buried" above 
ground level in stone and concrete enclosures (crypts?). Not exactly 
like those pictured in VA but done for the same reasons. Pictures I've 
seen of graves in New Orleans show similar structures.
