What Cemetery Superintendents 
Need to Know 
The need for exact information about other cemeteries, 
laws relating to the dead, etc., often comes to the Ceme- 
tery Superintendent. 
Fairchild Cemetery Manual 
gives in compact form the greatest amount of such in- 
formation that was ever compiled. 
The legal information alone is worth ten times the cost 
of the book. 
No cemetery superintendent who has ever examined the 
Manual would do without it.
