In addition to the funeral and light
livery on hands at all times, Daggetts
hoperate a special light transfer wagon
for the convenience of baggage and
! quick deliveries. The boarding OF
| private HoiseS is also al extensive
feature of the business.

that all is conducted smoothly and as
it should be. His careful supervision
