Notice the headstones and vault markers close to the chapels are the biggest in the cemetery, these places were reserved for the movers and shapers (the money) of the borough. This is so that the people visiting the chapels would notice the families of importance, snobbery in death, allegedly.
slight correction to the construction of the crematorium, it was built from the shell of the center chapel, not the foundations. I know what I was trying to say, but it didnt come out that way.
