In tramway hearse January 1888 the cemetery cont. committee recommended that the hearse be converted into a tram car and that the sleepers and rails leading from the tramline into the cemetery (about 12 chains distance) be taken up and used elsewhere. The cost of such conversion was considered too great. The hearse languished until sold in 1901. The tramline within the cemetery was left where it was. There are rough bumps in the roadway and beneath these the tramline still lies. The New Brighton Tramway Company took over the line from town and extended it down what are now Buckleys and Pages Road to the first Seaview Road Bridge which the company built, opening it in 1887.
