Fairchild Sons, of Brooklyn, N. Y., 
have recently published “The Fairchild 
Cemetery Manual,” a comprehensive and 
reliable guide to the cemeteries within 
a radius of fifty miles of New York 
that has enough valuable legal and other 
information in it to make it useful to 
other than undertakers for whom it is 
primarily designed. In seeking data for 
their own use as undertakers, Fairchild 
Sons became convinced of the need for 
such a book, and after several years of 
searching and compiling, they gathered 
a mass of information which they have 
published in a book of 298 pages. The 
manual gives a brief description of all 
the cemeteries within fifty miles of New 
York and data such as superintendent’s

It also contains a list of the cemeteries

setts and Connecticut, a list of all the 
national cemeteries of the United 
States, a list of monument dealers, state 
associations of undertakers, names and 
locations of all hospitals, morgues, coro- 
ners’ and burial permit offices in Greater 
New York, and a complete list of mem- 
bers of the Association of American 
Cemetery Superintendents. In addition 
to all these features the book contains 
a careful compilation by John E. Ruston 
of the laws of New York, New Jersey, 
Massachusetts and Connecticut relating 
to cemeteries, undertaking and embalm- 
ing, transportation of the dead, and other 
matters of interest to cemetery people. 
The book is advertised on another page.
