Its contents provide insights into the types of people, cultures and social organisations thatinhabited the area. Grave stones reveal nationality, as well as various cultural symbolisms which reflect values, dates of death also aid in identifying periods of disease and misfortune. In addition, various fraternal organizations have separate plots which aid in understanding their role as, in part, seeing to a decent burial for their members."[2]
