New Purchase - Interesting Token - One Way transfer to the cemetary

I guess if this Cemetary is your final destination there’s no need for a return trip 🤔

Do you need to put one on each eye or does one token cover the fare?

Well now... Those are the first Cemetery Ride tokens I have ever seen. Keeps parking needs down to a minimum...
I am sure they were not used for the honoree
Cheers, RickO
I have not seen a cemetery ride token either, but they may not necessarily have been used only at burials. Say you wanted to visit a loved one’s grave but did not or could not walk to it. For a small fee the cemetery would take you there.
My first wife’s maternal grandparents are buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery south of Chicago on the old Grand Trunk Railroad which had a stop there listed on railroad maps. They are a good half mile from where the station must have been.
Per Atwood-Coffee Volume II: "Rosehill Cemetery operated carriages within the cemetery, using horse-drawn service from 1862 to 1912 and gasoline buses from 1912 to 1942."
I'm sure the Cave Hill piece from Louisville was used in a similar manner.
