Telegraphic Address: Nicholas, Undertaker, Cheshunt.
Of the many classes of business called into requisition by the requirements of mundane existence, that of the Funeral Furnisher demands an interest which it is seldom accorded. This is, however, not the correct position to adopt in what is an eminently practical age, so, at least, we are taught to believe; and, therefore, we should not disdain knowledge on so important a subject.
In the district of Cheshunt no name is more intimately associated with funeral furnishing than that of Mr. A. G. Nicholas, and no house has made a more thorough study of the details of the business so as to entail upon the relatives and friends of the deceased the minimum amount of trouble and discomfort. Over twenty years ago witnessed his initial steps in founding what is now the only business which makes a speciality of this class of work, as the premises recently constructed at 189, Turner’s Hill make sufficiently plain to the passer-by. Commencing business as a joiner, builder, and undertaker at the period mentioned, the marked development of the latter department—as witness the many interments of deceased persons—has induced Mr. Nicholas to give special attention to this branch, which includes cremating and embalming, the erecting of all descriptions of monumental masonry, surveys of property, and transactions in all forms of life and other insurance, agencies being held for many leading companies.
When we consider the opportunity which the undertaker possesses for exercising influence upon persons under great mental strain, it will be seen how essential it is that they should be men who are above suspicion. Happily, however, the morale of the business has greatly improved, which is due in a large measure to the standard of the tradesmen who may be said to be representative of their calling.
