The double heart shape marble tomb is unique. Other than the double heart, it is also listed in English. The final unique thing is the relationship of the deceased and the person who help erect the tomb. He is listed as "mate" rather than husband.
The tomb reads:
In loving memory
of
Kwek Koon Yeow
(Mong)
Beloved mate of
Tan Eng Liak
who left the 23 August 1925
Age 21 Years
