profuse and handsome. The casket 
rested in an immense bower of roses 
and lillies, and everything else was car- 
ried out on a scale in keeping with this 
and the tent display. 
Laurel Hill Cemetery, in the booklet 
referred to above, also gives particu- 
larly careful and detailed explanation of 
charges and illustrations of the brick 
graves which are quite an important 
feature of interment methods in that 
cemetery. Illustrations from carefully 
made sectional drawings show graphic- 
ally all the essential features of the con- 
struction of these tombs which are made 
in three general styles and in two 
kinds of brick as desired. 
They build the single brick grave 
which may have floor of brick or stone 
slabs in one or three pieces, and stone 
top ; a two crypt grave vault with crypts 
side by side; and a two or three crypt 
brick grave with one crypt above the 
other. The illustrations herewith show 
very clearly the construction of the sev- 
eral styles. The single grave of hard 
red brick with brick floor, and a cov- 
ering of three flag stones is the cheap- 
est construction of this kind. The 
charge for this style is $45; if a single 
flag stone is used for the cover, the 
charge is $65 ; with three flag stone as 
a floor, and three for the cover, the 
charge is $55 ; with three stones on the 
floor, and one on top, or vice versa, $70, 
and with a single stone for both top and 
bottom, $80. If the walls extend to 
the surface of the ground, there is an 
additional charge of $65. The prices 
of the same styles of single grave in 
enameled brick range from $100 to $150, 
with an extra charge of $125 for walls 
up to the surface of the ground. 
The two crypt grave of which we 
show both side and end sectional 
views, has the two crypts side by side. 
It is built either with or without a par- 
tition wall, and in each of the several 
styles of floor and cover construction 
enumerated for the single grave. The 
prices range according to the kind of 
brick, roof cover and floor arrange- 
ment from $85 to $350. In enameled 
brick, with each crypt covered with one 
stone, the grave without partition is 
charged at $300 and with partition wall 
at $350. 
The third style with the crypts one 
above the other is built for either two 
or three interments. The three crypt 
grave, built of hard red brick, costs 
from $135 to $180, according to the 
floor and top coverings, with a charge 
of $10 added if the walls extend to the 
surface. In enameled brick this style 
is built for $250 or $285. 
For two interments, one above the 
other this grave is built with either of 
the several covers and floors for prices 
ranging from $80 to $125 for the hard 
red brick, and $175 to $225 for the en- 
ameled brick. 
The book is commended for the ac- 
curate and consistent grading of 
charges and the excellent methods of 
illustration, which leave no room for 
misunderstanding with the lot holder 
as to either price or service. 
A page of this booklet is devoted to 
the Ohio stone vaults which are also 
furnished at this cemetery for $50 each, 
another page to charges for burial per- 
mits, disinterments, and receiving tomb. 
The price of lots in Laurel Hill varies 
from $100 to $8,000, and there are over 
1,000 lots ready for sale at all times. 
The cemetery is at Ridge Ave., and 
35th St., and the City office at 45 S. 
17th St. A. L. Smith is General Man- 
ager.
