Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... Cemetery Organization and Ownership S cemeteries are being recognized more and more as business propositions, it becomes obvious that their management is purely a money affair and must be conducted by the best and most modern business methods. The management of cemeteries has varied with the exigencies of each case, but especially during the last decade there has been a decided tendency towards the incorporation of all cemetery organizations. Formerly churches, lodges and various societies controlled the cemetery, particularly in rural districts, and this custom still prevails to some extent in many small towns and villages. We find often here the women of the place organized into a cemetery association and doing work for the improvement of the grounds and for the maintaining of proper care in the same way that they care for many church enterprises. This work should not by any means be underestimated, and great credit is due these women for taking the initiative in this most important and necessary work, but as towns and the cemeteries are enlarged it is necessary to have more business-like arrangements made and various forms of cemetery management are installed. Cemetery Board In some places where the cemetery is owned by the city the management is conducted by a Cemetery Committee or Board appointed by the Mayor and ratified by the Board of Aldermen. Whatever may be made as a net profit during the year is paid into the city treasury. It is in this way that the Wyoming Cemetery, Melrose, Mass., is conducted and it has proved eminently satisfactory. The cemetery is beautifully cared for, being constantly improved, with an increasing perpetual care fund and the city is decidedly the gainer financially at the close of each year. Money Made...

Churchyard and cemetery

Pages : 303
Book Description
This book explores, for the first time, the turbulent social history of churchyards and cemeteries over the last 150 years. Using sites from across rural North Yorkshire, the text examines the workings of the Burial Acts and discloses the ways in which religious politics framed burial management. It presents an alternative history of burial which questions notions of tradition and modernity, and challenges long-standing assumptions about changing attitudes towards mortality in England. This study diverges from the long-standing tendency to regard the churchyard as inherently ‘traditional’ and the cemetery as essentially ‘modern’. Since 1850, both types of site have been subject to the influence of new expectations that burial space would guarantee family burial and the opportunity for formal commemoration. Although the population in central North Yorkshire declined, demand for burial space rose, meaning that many dozens of churchyards were extended, and forty new cemeteries were laid out. This text is accessible to undergraduates and postgraduates, and will be an essential resource for historians, archaeologists and local government officials.
