Interpreting Remarks in City Road Cemetery Burials record

I used your very useful index to find entries in the Burial record books (on Family Search), but I do not understand the Remarks column. Does anyone know where I can find an interpretation of the column? It usually begins C and P which I assume is Common or Private, sometimes followed by what I read as 'reopd' which I assumed means 'reopened'. The next line has a row number (8th Row or 8th R) which might be followed by 'l s' (left side?) and then something like '24th fr near side'. Is this related to the position in the grave or in the section? Also sometimes the Remarks column has what looks like 'm' and I haven't got a clue what that means - probably not ditto as the line above has a different grave number and section number.

Could the M be Marked or perhaps Memorial?

From previous discussions here I think it is 'Marginal'

Thnk you Hugh. That makes sense having now read the relevant information for Burngreave Cemetery. https://friendsofburngreavecemetery.chessck.co.uk/MapsandInscriptions
