![]() The modern hearse here was white rather than black. Black is the western tradition, whereas white is more the tradition of the far East and India. Perhaps the use of white is common in areas that have very hot summers.

![]() Here, a glimpse of the roads winding through the cemetery could be seen. They were paved with actual curbs. The curbs prevented cars from accidently driving up onto the lawns.

![]() The roads were wide enough for cars to park and for other cars to pass the parked cars. This allowed the mourners to park near to the grave site. Electric golf carts were used for maintenance.
