He said that yes it's a mortuary chapel but doesn't necessarily signify that there once was a cemetery in its environs. So the old cemetery is really the one at the northern portion of the complex. This structure is perhaps for wakes? Interesting also bai, I asked Dale about this, because there's a stone marker at the street going to the cemetery that says "Calle Camposanto" but the street now is called "Calle Eternidad." // Was able to ask sir Ricky Jose about this.

Oslob church is old and definitely when it was built, there also was a cemetery nearby. Yes, Im certain it was once a mortuary chapel bai.
