The cemetery is known for its enclosed graves, and many of them have their own fences around them, so they are all very well protected.

Some burial sites feature rock formations around the grave, too. They’re all individualized and well-cared-for, and they honor the spirits of the departed in a beautiful way.

While some of the dead have those beautiful graves, many of them were unfortunately paved over to make room for the nearby roads, and it’s said that some of the dead felt disrespected by this change.
