QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting subject. Nice work. Two issues remain: (1) as part of the requirement that the end of each paragraph be cited, there needs to be citations for Architect Pierre Cuypers undertook a redesign of the cemetery in 1858, creating separate sections for Catholic and Protestant burials, divided by a wall and When the 1839 Treaty of London divided the province of Limburg in two, with the eastern part going to the Netherlands and the western part to Belgium, military men from Holland settled in the Dutch part of Limburg, with their different faith and tongue; and (2) you need to complete your second QPQ. Once addressed this should be good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:43, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: Done, done, and done (respectively, respectfully, and re-spec-ed-slightly!). --GRuban (talk) 02:51, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Structural issue

It seems to me that settling of either headstone could cause the relatively weak bridge of hands to eventually break or crack. How is that prevented?
