The cemetery had two rows of graves on each side of the center aisle. A monument was placed r over each brother's grave. Later, a small concrete rectangular frame was placed over each grave, and flowers planted within each frame. Neat as it looked from above, the coffins were not always aligned. There was considerable rock and some graves had to be completed with a compressor and jackhammer. Others were placed slightly out of line to make use of available dirt and bypass rock. The graves were dug by the novices, with the novitiate building the closest building to the cemetery. I know this because I was one of those assigned to dig several graves!
