I am unable to determine the death date of her husband, Tan Teck Bee and if you look at his tomb, the death date is not listed. Is he buried in Bukit Brown? I am not sure for now.
Tomb of Tan Teck Bee (notice date of death is not etched) and the lovely checkered tiles |
Some unique things i observed from their tomb. Some of the courtyard tiles remain and is unique with black and white tiles. The other is the headstone that lies between the tomb of Tan Teck Bee and Madam Chua Eng Neo. The headstone is etched in English and reads;
Death in Peace

The Twenty first year
