Secondo una credenza popolare uno studioso avrebbe contato, alla fine dell'Ottocento, circa otto milioni[7] di ossa di cadaveri rigorosamente anonimi. Oggi si possono contare 40.000 resti, ma si dice che sotto l'attuale piano di calpestio vi siano compresse ossa per almeno quattro metri di profondità, ordinatamente disposte, all'epoca, da becchini specializzati. Nel marzo 1872 il cimitero fu aperto al pubblico e affidato dal Comune al canonico Gaetano Barbati, ritenuto erroneamente[11] parroco di Materdei,[12] il quale, con l'aiuto del Cardinale Sisto Riario Sforza, eseguì una sistemazione dei resti secondo la tipologia delle ossa (crani, tibie, femori) e organizzò a mo' di chiesa provvisoria la prima cava,[4] in attesa che fosse costruito un tempio stabile.
