How about some postings of trams passing Cemeterys (we have already had
hotels)

Sydney's former Matraville - Yarra Junction tramway passed the Botany
Cemetery

(This is where the late David Keenan author of Sydney Tramways books is
interred)

In the early 1900s, there was a branch tramway into Botany cemetery built
for the purpose

of transferring the deceased residents and headstones from the old
Devonshire Street cemetery.

This cemetery was earlier on the site of the present Sydney Railway Station.

Sydney's Lane Cove tramway passed by the Gore Hill Cemetery.

In Launceston, Tasmania, the Carr Villa tram line terminated at the cemetery
gates.
