Two of the historic family vaults located at Rookwood Cemetery are the Frazer Mausoleum (top) and the John Paul Family Vault (bottom). The Frazer Mausoleum is the largest monument in Rookwood and was completed in 1894. John Frazer emigrated to Australia from Ireland, with his brother James, in 1842. From humble beginnings, he made John Frazer & Co. into one of the most influential mercantile houses in Sydney. He died in 1884, leaving an estate of 405,000 pounds.
