There are 32 graves in the cemetery, including the grave of Temenggong Abdul Rahman (Also known as Engku Abdul Rahman), Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim, and their family members.[2] However, the tombs of the Temenggongs are placed inside the mosque, as a mausoleum (Keramat). The land that the mosque and cemetery lie on belongs to the Johor Sultanate, to this day.[3]

Background

The burial ground was informally established with Temenggong Abdul Rahman being buried there in late December 1825,[4] the burial ground had since become a resting place for later members of the House of Temenggong from then on.

The last to be buried was Ungku Mohd Khalid, the younger brother of Sultan Abu Bakar in 1900.
