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.

Book Description
Death is at once a universal and everyday, but also an extraordinary experience in the lives of those affected. Death and bereavement are thereby intensified at (and frequently contained within) certain sites and regulated spaces, such as the hospital, the cemetery and the mortuary. However, death also affects and unfolds in many other spaces: the home, public spaces and places of worship, sites of accident, tragedy and violence. Such spaces, or Deathscapes, are intensely private and personal places, while often simultaneously being shared, collective, sites of experience and remembrance; each place mediated through the intersections of emotion, body, belief, culture, society and the state. Bringing together geographers, sociologists, anthropologists, cultural studies academics and historians among others, this book focuses on the relationships between space/place and death/ bereavement in 'western' societies. Addressing three broad themes: the place of death; the place of final disposition; and spaces of remembrance and representation, the chapters reflect a variety of scales ranging from the mapping of bereavement on the individual or in private domestic space, through to sites of accident, battle, burial, cremation and remembrance in public space. The book also examines social and cultural changes in death and bereavement practices, including personalisation and secularisation. Other social trends are addressed by chapters on green and garden burial, negotiating emotion in public/ private space, remembrance of violence and disaster, and virtual space. A meshing of material and 'more-than-representational' approaches consider the nature, culture, economy and politics of Deathscapes - what are in effect some of the most significant places in human society.
