The following information is copied from the Greenock Cemetery Walks leaflet, published by Inverclyde Tourist Group Link
Dame Frances Caroline Cameron died in 1899. After a service in the church her remains were taken on a horse carriage to Fort Matilda Station, Greenock. A specially hired train carried them to Glasgow where she was cremated and her ashes returned to Greenock for burial in the mausoleum.
Dame Frances' husband was Sir Charles Cameron MP, who was instrumental in introducing several Acts of Parliament one of which was the Abolishment of Imprisonment for Debt in Scotland. Another Act was the right for women to vote in municipal elections in Scotland.
