Rohwer Relocation Center\u00a0Cemetery includes 24 burial sites (25 if one counts “Papy” the dog, who has a headstone 200 feet to the west). Three types of headstones were provided by Social Welfare department for the deceased at the time of burial. In the 2004 Condition Assessment Report,\u00a0headstone types were designated “A,” “B,” or “C”:\u00a0In design “A” a\u00a0portion of the base with the flower holders is integral to the base; in design “B” the flower holder is cast as a separate unit, the\u00a0design the most commonly used; and design “C” is similar to type “A” but much smaller, which\u00a0was only used for infant burials.<\/p>\n
