This Cemetery, with its funeral rites, is one of the operations of a Guild of Benevolence.
A BURIAL CHARITY
A BABY TOWER,
FOOCHOW.
When a baby dies, and the parents are too poor to give it a decent burial, they drop its poor little body into one of the openings in this tower. A Guild of Benevolence charges itself with the task of clearing out the tower every two or three days, burying the bodies with all religious rites and ceremony.
