e€ r Sir:
ur letter o:
to note that you have discovered the box shipped to your insti-
tution in 1917, ~~' ~.n undertaker's establishment, but you do
~- .. .~ the n:Ame, o_° the Undertaker.
__.. ~, ; imed body in one in ~~,hich the relatives ~~re too ~~oor
': ; ~~ury, or r;ho refuse to bury. You must insist thPt the rela-
tines pay the entire ex-Dense of the burial, vyhich in some insti-
tuions is clone i~•, this v;ay; the gave in the burying grounds of
the Asyltun or Home, ra simple box in v~hich the body can be placed
and a paper shxoud, c~~hich can be obtained through paper manufac-
turers, but not through the Under.t~~~ers supplies. It seems to me
that if the rel~.tive s v~ant to bury, they c ~j.n do it under these
e~rcumstiances.
Your institution noel hr.s tv~~o sl~ip;~in~• boxes, c;hicl~ ~.re the
property of this Board ~.nd v.~hich must be taken cz/re of b~ your
institution, they ~ re not the y~roperty of any Urldert~. ker, they ,~
are, hov~ever, for the use of any Undertaker havini ~:n uncl~~imed
body to ship to this 33o€:rd.
Very truly,
