19.01.2022 Cemetery fashion - Vaulted graves. Most of these graves date to the late 1800s, but graves with vaults like these are a throwback to pre 1830s Europe. Prior to ...this time, one of a grieving families greatest concerns was that their loved one would be exhumed by infamous "resurrection men" looking to make coin by supplying anatomists with cadavers. In 1832, the "Anatomy Act" introduced legislation allowing the unclaimed bodies of prisoners and "lunatics" to be donated to science, thus shutting down the resurrection men's trade. These post-1832 vaulted graves, with thick stone to deter resurrection men, are purely decorative.... and very expensive. Courtesy N. Buchanan
