Robert's Cenotaph is on the same wall as the markers of Mary, Eddy & Willie, and Tad (these markers are listed from left to right when facing). The family members that are interred at the tomb are in a sort of chamber along with the marker for AL. On either side of the chamber there are gates that extend to be locked up and that retract to allow visitors through. Robert's cenotaph, when facing the markers for the Mary, Eddy & Willie, and Tad and with back toward AL's marker, is to the right of Tad and just outside the lockable gate (whereas the others are between the lockable gates).

Thanks. Seems to me a logic place. Nearest to Tad (who he knew best of all his siblings), but outside the lockable gate (thus outside the burial chamber), for me symbolizing that RTL had his own place in history, apart from his direct family.
