This society has been formed to advocate cremation
as a more rational means of disposing of the dead
than ordinary earth burial. Cremation accomplishes
in an hour a process which otherwise occupies many
years. The Crematorium, Chapel, and relative offices,
within the Western Necropolis, Maryhill, Glasgow,
were opened on 27th November, 1895. The charge
for each cremation ranges from £2 2s. to £5 5s.,
according to circumstances. The directors will be
ready to consider cases where the relatives are qu'te
unable to make any payment. Up to the end of
4th April, 1898, there have been 31 cremations repre-
senting all classes.
The Chapel and Crematorium is open daily (Sun-
days excepted) for inspection by visitors.
