A Scottish correspondent writes OF
funerals in the Highlands: There are
no undertakers here. A carpenter
makes the simple coffin, relatives and
friends carry It, hip high, to its last
resting place, which is dug when the
end of the journey is reached, and,
having walked perhaps six miles to
the chosen kirkyard, they take re-
freshmen of sandwiches and whisky
and walk home again. The rigorous
absence of pomp is maintained, but
there Is the added establishment OF
pipe music"
