We had this exact design at the entrance to a parking lot at the "House of Lee' restaurant in Metairie, Louisiana.

I see many photos of cemetaries, and you can access them all. Except a muslin cemetary that opened up near where I live, they put up a tall fence, and the things has cameras and paddlocks on the gates, and when I asked why, they refused to answer. These gates are so inviting.
