A photograph of the casket being carried into El Campo Santo Cemetery for the funeral of John H. Temple, April 1926. The image is taken from the driveway immediately outside the entrance, through which the pallbearers are moving.

At the center of the reverse is a stamp reading "WEBBS / APR 14 1926 / SAN JOSE," the date referring to the processing date. At the bottom right corner is the stamped number "30." Preprinted at several locations on the reverse is the brand name "VELOX" referring to Kodak paper. With some light discoloration and surface soiling, the overall condition is good.
