For the funeral of all the city militia and officers of the line, twelve florins must be paid for the cross, the pall, and the making of the grave, inclusive of the carriage, by the friends of the dead.
The interment of a pauper will cost six florins, eight kruitzers.
The expenses of the interments of the institution for paupers are settled by the Church and Cemetery Commission, with the officers of that institution.
If the Interment Commissary be employed by the friends of the deceased, to announce the occurrence of the death, he is to receive three guilders per day.
Section V.—The Regulations with regard to the House for the reception of the Dead.
The following are the regulations regarding the use of the house for the reception and care of the dead, which are here made known for every one’s observance.
(1.) The object of this institution is—
a. To give perfect security against the danger of premature interment.
b. To offer a respectable place for the reception of the dead, in order to remove the corpse from the confined dwellings of the survivors.
(2.) The use of the reception-house is quite voluntary, yet, in case the physician may consider it necessary for the safety of the survivors that the dead be removed, a notification to this effect must be forwarded to the younger burgermeister to obtain the necessary order.
