A Good Idea Concerning Funerals.

In connection with the subject OF funer
ais / would like to make a suggestion TO
all who throu b a sad necessity may be-
come interested 1t is the custom, Of
course where death occurs in a family to
send at once for an undeIta taker. If there
be no male relative to make business Of
the matter, the suggestions of tho under
taker are listened 10 and assentei TO by the
widow and the orphan The sub ject of the
cost CRATES so haTshly upon the ear of the
& iicted ones that cost and prices are not
much talked over but left to the Judgment
of the undertaken The nndsrta ker how
ever kind and sympathetic, knows but
little of the financial affairs Of the family,
and his thoughts running naturally in the
business line Of getting up a nice tu-
neral, he selects and brings up a rather
