In 1906, K.P.C. de Bazel designed a grave monument commissioned by Jean François van Royen, son of the deceased and friend of de Bazel. J.F. van Royen was employed by the P.T.T and commissioned the 1906 Willem III commemorative stamps designed by de Bazel in 1915. Jan van Royen was a notary in Nijmegen, and married Louise Aletta Bijleveld, daughter of the mayor of Nijmegen, Bijleveld. She did not want to lie under a stone, it seemed so heavy to her, hence tomb with standing monument.
