Es uno de los panteones más antiguos del cementerio. La señora Dolores Carbó que aquí está enterrada, murió en la finca de Moixica, en 1902. Su monumentalidad y su diseño no pasan desapercibidos, ya que los ornamentos de la piedra, los realizados con hierro están hechos con mucho esmero. La escultura que representa a la difunta leyendo, tal como la encontraron muerta, es obra del gran escultor alicantino Vicente Bañuls, e impresiona por su realismo.
It is one of the oldest pantheons in the cemetery. Mrs. Dolores Carbó, who is buried here, died on the Moixica farm in 1902. Its monumentality and its design do not go unnoticed, since the stone ornaments and those made with iron are made with great care. The sculpture that represents the deceased reading, just as she was found dead, is the work of the great Alicante sculptor Vicente Bañuls, and impresses with its realism.
