The Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane, once called the Brisbane General Cemetery, was established in 1866 and formally opened in 1875. It is a history lesson in itself, encompassing so many varied styles of monuments and burial plots. It displays the fashions in ornamentation, the differences in attitudes to death as regards various cultures and religions, as well as the social structure of the times.
To quote from the Heritage Register listing
http://www.toowongwest.org.au/heritage_register/cemetery.htm
"The Toowong Cemetery is a rare example of the Victorian concept of a mortuary park and the collection of memorials and gravestones record unique documentary information that is of interest to art, military, local history, architectural and sculptural historians, students of typography and demography, genealogists and relatives of the deceased." and
"At the base of Mt Coot-tha, with the Botanical Gardens and Anzac Park opposite, and with the Brisbane Forest Park as its backdrop, the Toowong Cemetery’s picturesque setting maintains the visual allusion of the Victorian concept of a mortuary park on the outskirts of the city. Its elevated location to minimise health risks and its inclusion of all denominations typify the characteristics of late nineteenth century cemeteries."

What though in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved no longer nigh
Submissive still would I reply.

Erected in the memory
