Enquire within upon everything

1. Date of Death. 2. Name in full. 3. Sex and age. 4. Rank or profession. 5. Cause of death. 6. Signature, description, and residence of the person giving the information. 7. Date of the registration. A certificate of the cause of death must be obtained from the medical man in attendance, who is required to state when he last saw the patient. 1965. Persons dying at Sea. The commander of any British vessel, on board of which a death occurs at sea, must act the same as in a case of birth. 1966. Certificates of Death. Every registrar must deliver to the undertaker, without fee, a certificate of the death, which certificate shall be delivered to the officiating minister. No dead body can be buried without such certificate, under a penalty of £10. 1967. Observances of Deaths and Funerals. It is usual, when a death takes place, to communicate it immediately, upon mourning note-paper, to the principal members of the family, and to request them to notify the same to the more remote relatives in their circle. A subsequent note should state the day and hour at which the funeral is fixed to take place. 1968. Special Invitations. Special invitations to funerals are not considered requisite to be sent to near relatives; but to friends and acquaintances such invitations should be sent. 1969. Gloves. Most persons who attend funerals will provide themselves with gloves; but it is well to have a dozen pairs, of assorted sizes, provided in case of accident. An arrangement can be made for those not used to be returned.
