The tomb symbolizes competition between Britain and the Netherlands

Letter: The British funeral in Katargam Darwaja can be considered the last grave of foreign traders’ funerals to appear in the letter.
The first recorded tomb at Armenia’s cemetery was the 16th century while in the Dutch cemetery in 1642.
In the British grave, the oldest grave recorded was 1649 from Francis Breton who was the East Indian factory president in the letter.
Armenian cemetery only has one mausoleum while the Dutch and English graves have many structures like that.
The researchers had concluded that the architecture of the tomb in two graves showed the majesty and luxury of two foreign trade companies which was a rival and the Mausoleum acted as a symbol of this competition.
In British funerals, obelisk, pillars and cupolas have been made well as the desire of their company officials or relatives.
The funeral has around 94 tombs, 14 of them have this architectural structure.
Some tombs have epitaf but many of them only have numbered stones.
The most funny of the Oxenden brothers and sisters, one of which is the factory president, and Gerald Aungier, who also became president and then the Governor of the Bombay Presidency.
Even though the grave of Breton was the oldest in the cemetery, he was not the first English person to die in a letter.
The British factory was founded in 1613 and the researchers have claimed that many factory employees have died during hunger 1631.
But where they are buried have not been found.
