london built a railway to take urban mourners and dead to a cemetery outside the city

There were such things as "coffin tickets"
Separate Anglican and non-Anglican parts of the cemetery, naturally, but also parts of the train (for the living and dead)
Funerals also came in first-class, second-class, and third-class with corresponding rights to permanent memorial (or risk of exhumation)
They had an extremely badass logo
