Many people appreciate the beauty of this large and impressive cemetery but few realise that it was established in 1901 and that the first burial was in 1902. This illustrated presentation will reveal little-known facts about the historical and botanical significance of the cemetery, including fascinating information about the famous people who have their final resting place there, and historic features such as the first cremation sites and the former American war graves section.
