Cemeteries

On the other End are some texts from the Burial Service. [Editor's Note: J C Loudon died in 1843. He was in bad health in 1842 and this may have contributed to the interest in the design and layout of cemeteries which was a feature of the last years of his life. He often remarked that burial grounds needed to be enlarged or better kept or planted with trees. He was buried in what is perhaps the classic example of a Victorian burial ground: Kensal Green Cemetery].
