Abridged Prospectus.—The Funerals Company proposes to
effect a reformation of the existing funeral customs, which are
so universally deplored. Its aim will be—by the employment
of unique and very superior hearses, and mourning carriages of
appropriately plain yet handsome and artistic design, with expe-
rienced attendants of high character and respectability, and by
dispensing with the,custornau professional pageantry and mean-
ingless display—to condtiotTunerals with a degree of solemnity
and decorum unattainable under the present system. The
Directors are so confident of the success of the undertaking.
established in a metropolis where more than 70,000 funerals are
taking place every year, that they and their friendA have agreed
to take up 400 shares of the Company ; and they appeal for sup-
port to the good sense of all classes of the community. •
The Articles of Association and drawings of the hearses and
mourning carriages (registered) can be seen at the Offices of the
Company, where prospectuses and all further particulars can be
obtained.
