London Necropolis Railway - Wikipedia

  • There were such things as "coffin tickets"
  • Separate Anglican and non-Anglican parts of the cemetery, naturally, but also parts of the train (for the living and dead)
  • Funerals also came in first-class, second-class, and third-class with corresponding rights to permanent memorial (or risk of exhumation)
  • They had an extremely badass logo
