That hacks BIO provided only for the
officiating clergymen, p~all-bearers. and
tho family, and that at the close Of the
funeral services in the church or house,
the bereaved DO allowed to bury their
dead In the privacy Of grief. That In
the occurring of these much needed re-
forms ON the one hand, persons Of
wealth. and all burying societies and
orders that have accumulated funds,
set An example Of eeonomy and sim
