The custom of cremation for the dis
position Of the dead IS becoming gen
orally recognized in: the United States
as is shown by the fact that nearly all
the larger cities in this country have
established ccrematories:~ The in
creased number Of bodies cremated
yearly is another evidence Of the.
growing belief that cremation is NOT
only the best method Of sdisposing OF
the dead from sanitary standpoint,
but also that it dispeas any possibility
Of being buried alive: In PhiIadel-
phia last year there were lre; cresna-
tons. The meth DDS OF cremation are
similar to those that are used in plIae-
ing body in a vault. The funeral
cortege. arrives at the chapel. where.
the services are held. The body is
placed on a.. catafalque;; which is sur:
rounded by an ornamental BRASS rail-
ing. After the services are completsd.
tire catafalque with the body descends,
by means of an elevator ta, the crem-'
'atery. Before the coffin has entirely
disappeared from view a black pail
is drawn over the railing: After the
body has reached the crenatory thH>
