By "Stone Masons" we assume you refer to Monumental Stone Masons - the contractors and artisans who create individual memorials. Well Waverley Cemetery Is a business and the establishemnt and growth of the business has involved a great number of contractors to the business over the least 130+ years. The individual memorials as a collective might seem like good luck but the stles and class of memorial permitted in the cemetery has always been at the direction of the Cemetery Management. Waverley has always had a policy of predominant standstone and white marble monumentation. This continues today. The infrastructure of the site was designed to meet the challenging location, retaining walls of local stone (quarried on the site), the earliest recorded use of macadam roads in a Sydney cemetery, and advanced drainage techniques are all testiment to Victorian Sydneys technical ability. www.waverley.nsw.gov.au/cemetery
