Southern Cemetery, Manchester
Opened in 1879, Southern Cemetery is situated on Barlow Moor Road, South Manchester. It is the largest municipal cemetery in the UK and the second largest in Europe, with beautiful gardens and pathways, and six grade 2 listed buildings, four of which are chapels. The cemetery is also the final resting place for many great Mancunians including philanthropist John Rylands, British aviator John Alcock (who made history with the first non-stop transatlantic flight in 1919) and former Manchester United Manager, Sir Matt Busby.
This photo was taken from just outside the main gates, showing the Lodge to the right of the main pathway.

Display of gravestones
Outside Image are several examples of their work. I think we see here an indication of the successes of integration; an indigenous tradition fully adapted to the needs of an incoming population, and an indication of why integration can work - we are all born, die, and love our families.
I often wonder about such displays. The stones with finished inscriptions cannot be for sale, perhaps they are awaiting delivery. The central one here may have been rejected, or be waiting for a new plinth, which is inscribed "forever in our herts"

Former monumental mason
This stretch of Barlow Moor Road had at least half a dozen monumental masons, serving the vast cemetery across the road. This was the largest, but is now closed.
I understand that they did not adapt well to the changing population, not being able to offer Urdu, Hindi, or Arabic inscriptions.
