Transportation of gravestones

Would the railway have also transported gravestones made for the cemetery, or was there a monumental mason's works adjacent Brookwood Cemetery?Cloptonson (talk) 10:49, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Probably found some answer to my own question - I see this article mentions a "masonry works" operational until the 1980s.Cloptonson (talk) 10:59, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested trimming

As this article would be expected to be about the history and workings of the railway company and its lines, I suggest the section on the "London Burial Crisis" could be trimmed if not totally deleted, as much of the information is also mentioned in the sister article on the London Necropolis Company.Cloptonson (talk) 10:53, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, absolutely, go for it. Afterbrunel (talk) 14:10, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
