“The cemetery corporations sold plots to lot holders, who would eventually become stockholders…Rural cemeteries were to be places of beauty and tranquility, secluded spots where bereaved relatives and friends could combine affectionate respect with a love of nature.”

Neil Harris, “The Cemetery Beautiful,” in Passing: The Vision of Death in America, 1977
