Excerpt from A Report on the Results of a Special Inquiry Into the Practice of Interment in Towns, 1845: Made at the Request of Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department
The chapters omitted, happily, have little application in the United States. Though legislation would be salutary as far as to restrain burials within cities after prescribed periods, the establish ment of burial-places under public management, in alliance with an established church, would not be consonant to our institutions; and where a family is seldom crowded into a single room, as in Europe, the proposed regulation for the immediate removal of the dead to a common receptacle, is not felt to be a requisition of humanity.
What is said, therefore, upon these and other evils scarcely known here, is comparatively unimportant and not republished.
