What is the charge for each man bearing a wand?—About the same price. How many men of this description would be required for what is deemed a respectable funeral?—About twenty men; for if the coffin be a leaden one it would require about eight men to bear it. What other charges are there of the same kind?—There are velvets attached to the hearse, including feathers, and feathers to the horses, which makes from ten to fifteen guineas more. What is charged for the pall?—From one to four guineas would be charged for the use of the pall. What is it usual to give to the clergyman?—A silk scarf of three yards and a half, a silk hatband, and black kid gloves. What may be the expense of this?—About two guineas to the parties. Is anything usually given to the clerk?—Yes, the same as to the minister. Is anything given to the sexton?—Yes, they do in respectable families, or rather the undertaker does so, for his own gain. The cost of the whole,—minister, sexton, and undertaker, will be about seven guineas to a respectable family, but it is usual to compound the matter by giving them money; I generally give the minister 18_s._, and the clerk 15_s._, and the sexton, perhaps, 15_s._ Is such an array as that described adopted in the case of the funerals of tradesmen as well as of other classes?—They have frequently the same number of men. A clergyman’s widow, who has solicited aid for her sons, whom she has found it difficult to educate, states that the expenses of her husband’s funeral were upwards of 110_l._ On being asked how she could incur such an expense, she states that she considered it her duty to have a respectable funeral, and ordered the undertaker to provide what was respectable; that she knew not what she ordered in that condition, and merely gave general orders. Now is not this a frequent case, and is not the undertaker’s usual interpretation of respectability that which is expensive, the parties knowing little about it?—Yes, that is frequently so. In the case of funerals of persons of moderate respectability costing, say about 60_l._, how many of such men as those described would there be attending it?—About fourteen. For a curate, or person of that condition, would there be that number and array?—Yes. What would be the expense of the funeral of a person of the condition of an attorney?—From 60_l._ to 100_l._; but this would not include the expense of tomb or monument, or burial-fees. If a person of such a condition were buried, would it be of about twenty attendants, with such an array as that described?—Yes; for such a person the cost would be about 100 guineas, exclusive of the burial-fees. There would then be the same number of attendants as those mentioned, about twenty men?—Yes, about twenty men. The funeral being ordered of an upholsterer, is it not usually provided by an undertaker?—Yes.
