		Originally called The City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery, it was opened by a company of the same name, comprising 11 wealthy directors whose occupations reflect the industries of the day: corn merchant, merchant ship broker and ship owner, timber merchant, and Lord Mayor of London.

		The cemetery, sited to spectacular effect in a disused sandstone quarry (later dominated by the Anglican cathedral), was funded by the incorporation of a joint-stock company, an enterprise which, the year after its opening, saw shareholders receiving an annual dividend of 8%.
		Cemetery buildings have generally been designed to form an integral part of an overall scheme, and indeed the ground plan of the cemetery is often by the same hand as the architecture.
		Since the primary function of a cemetery is for burials, and that during the 19th and 20th centuries grave plots have most commonly been marked by monuments, in an historic cemetery these structures are an integral part of the whole.
