Location of tomb 

Nyonya Seow Swee Oon is buried in Hill 1 Division B, plot 152. From the burial registrar, her name is written as Seow Swee Hoon. The word Nyonya is omitted and likely honorific in nature but neverthless, it doesn't take away the fact this tomb is important as it is one of the rare tombs in Bukit Brown where the honorific word Nyonya is clearly seen and used.
