The following is an extract from Mr. O. C. Si- 
monds remarks on foreign cemeteries at the Phila- 
delphia Convention of the A. A. C. S. : “Among 
the cemeteries I visited while in Europe is the Me- 
tropolitan Cemetery in London, containing twenty 
thousand graves. It is nicely laid out and very 
well kept. As far as landscape gardening and the 
care of the cemetery is concerned, it is very beauti- 
ful. There are some things that might be of much 
interest to you; in the first place, there is a conse- 
crated ground where they charge a little more for 
a lot or burial than in the unconsecrated portion. 
The association carries on the whole business of the 
cemetery; they attend to the funerals and sell flow- 
ers in connection with the care of the cemetery. * 
In one large cemetery in Paris where there are 300- 
000 bodies buried, the cemetery is built in form 
somewhat like our cemeteries here; but the graves 
are twenty, thirty and forty feet deep, the bodies 
being buried one above the other.”

Interment Record and Lot Book.— — r 
This system is thought to embrace the best features of the most popular forms of burial records 
now in use and may be adapted to large or small cemeteries. The Interment Record gives 
all of the necessary information in regard to the deceased, and the Lot Book locates every 
grave, so that it can be readily found at any time. The books are printed on heavy paper, 
substantially bound and furnished in different sizes, depending upon the requirements of the 
cemetery, R, J. HAIGHT, Pub., 334 Dearborn St., Chicago.
