Talk:William Price (physician)

message: I can't recall the exact location of the statue of Dr. Price.  I added a mention of it, but if someone gets a chance to add a more precise location before I can find my notes, I think that would be a good addition. --Kathryn NicDhàna 20:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Regarding the entry in the article that Price was "best known for reintroducing cremation to the United Kingdom" and the later entry that he "is remembered chiefly as the performer of the first legal cremation in the United Kingdom in modern times ... on 18 January 1884".
The Wiki article Cremation describes the history of cremation in the United Kingdom in some detail; it is also the subject of a web page of the Cremation Society of Gt Britain  
 which provides details of several actions by others including itself prior to 1884. 
Therefore, in the interest of accuracy, it's fair to mention that Price was not solely responsible for its reintroduction, although he was certainly highly instrumental in the eventual legal recognition of cremation.  I have rewritten the lead paragraph and the 'Cremation' section of the article accordingly.--Twistlethrop (talk) 08:05, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
