West View Cemetery was begun as a private cemetery 1884.
Prior to this the cemetery was owned by the City of Atlanta.
There are graves in the wooded part of West View, as you go
in on the left that are so overgrown that it is impossible to
tet to them. West View did not clear the overgrown graves when
assuming the cemetery as private.
A 'Receiving Tomb' was built 1888. It is 25Ft. long, 30ft wide,
18ft high . Holding capacity 36 bodies. This facility was needed
due to dirt roads of this time and all graves were dug by hand.
Horses, wagons & cars were unable to navigate the roads
due to mud and graves were unable to be dug due to weather.
During the flu epidemic this was a real service to the
community as there were too many bodies to be buried and it
offered a holding area for them. This facility was used
until 1945 when Westview Abby, the Moseuleum was built and opened.
At this time there was not any use for this facility and it
was sealed. All information is on the sealing of the tomb.
Prior to 1940 vaults were not required. There was not a requirement
as to the type of container that the body was placed in prior
to 1940's. Only Steel or Concrete vaults are allowed for burial
since 1940. There use to be a custom of burying two (2) children
in a single grave space. This is not any longer allowed. FLO
