The exact order in which Mincu and his apprentices worked on tombs is not known to this date.
The first one that was ready though belonged to Ghica family, towards the end of the 19th century, as we find out from the memoirs. It is more interesting how Mincu
divided the work among his apprentices: A. Clavel, Edmond van Saanen Algi (1882-1938) și Sarvasy drew for the tomb of brothers Gheorghiev(f) while they were working
in Mincu's office located in the Palace of Justice. Simion Vasilescu collaborated at the work for Eugeniu Stătescu's tomb and he also did stereotomy plans for Cantacuzino, Gheorghiev(f), Stătescu and Simionescu-Râmniceanu tombs.
First they drew at the scale of 1-2 cm., than details of 5-10 cm., until they reached the natural sized on boards or while working on site.
