London Letter in Philadelphia Record.
Directly the breath leaves the 'body the
window blinds, usually inside Venetian
shutters, are pulled down, the windows of
the room where the death occurred being
left slightly open, however, from the top to
permit the spirit to take its celestial flight.
This latter is an old superstition, a very
poetic one. In the country the house door
is left ajar on the day of the fu
neral until after the mourners’ return.
“Because,” they say, “to shut the
door would be to shut out the corpse. To
leave it open is to show a welcome to the
spirit’s return.” In the country, notably in
Hampshire and Somersetshire, the usual
shroud of the simpler village folk is com
posed of white cotton wadding, shaped
about the body dressed in ordinary under
garments. The coffin is borne ”on the
Moulders of friends to the cemetery, the
other mourners following on foot to the
grave.
Naturally such customs are impracticable
in a city like London. Only intimate friends,
but not the more immediate family, accom
pany the body to its burial place, the leave
taking of the family is private. Other
friends assemble in the drawing-rooms.
There is no service until reaching the chapel
in the cemeteiy,where one takes place, if at
all, as supplementary to a final one at the
grave itself. Only when the deceased has
l,een a great public man is there a service in
the church he attended in life, or in St.
Paul’s, the Abbey or other noted sacred edi
fice. This service is called a “mourning
function.” Memorial services, on the other
hand, for a noted man or woman may occur
simultaneously in many churches.
There are no crape streamers on the door
knocker or bell-handle, as in Philadelphia or
other cities in America The blinds are
down, the knocker muffled and frequently
straw is placed in the street for half a block
to deaden the sound of vehicles. It is also
an unwritten courtesy of the neighbors to
draw their blinds on the day’ of the death
and on that of the funeral. Thus we know
that the “King of Terrors” holds his grim,
dumb court within the house with drawn
blinds and muffled knocker.
Even during the last four years changes
in funeral customs have taken place. Some
people still rigidly keep to the old ways.
Therefore if we should not at first be sure of
death, the presence on the doorsteps of two
lugubrious persons would prove it. These,
relieved with other two at intervals, stand
one on each side of the door to weep until
the period shall be ended between the death
at the removal to the cemetery. These paid
mourners are “mutes.” Their business is to
weep, and they perform it faithfully. In
solemn black garments, hands in black
gloves, broad streamers of Crape called
“weepers” about their hats, they ply hand
kerchiefs to their eyes black-bordered and
gloomy. When there are no passers-by they
discuss the local politics or their own affairs.
Directly someone heaves in sight up go the
handkerchiefs. The ends of their noses are
suspiciously red. One feels that gin is the
cause of such a perpetual flow of salt water
from their weak, reddish eyes. It is, despite
the solemn cause of their employment, ex
ceedingly droll. They look like pen and ink
sketches, and thsir marionet woe is ghastly
in its grotesqueness. Strange that this cus
tom or the early Romans should have sur
vived until the nineteenth century. Many
the Roman rites have lingered on these
isles of Great Britain, once so extensively
. used as Roman encampments. “The funeral
baked meats" of sacred as well as of profane
,history—these are still prepared. Poor, in
deed, the London family which fails to have
a banquet provided ou tbe funeral day for
the assembled friends.
So widespread is the horror concerning be
ing buried alive that bodies are kept nere
longer than in America. It is reparded as
barbarous to keep the body less than a week,
and ten days is more frequently the time.
Of course in cases of contagious disease the
authorities enforce speedy and private
burial. Perhaps the humid atmosphere is
not conducive to mortification. Certain it
is that less ice is used here, if used at all,
than in America on these melancholy occa
sions.
The funeral flowers are even more extrav
agantly used than in America, and not alone
white flowers, but all the delicate hued blos
soms pertaining to the season. Besides nat
ural now ci s quantities of a species of ever
lasting white pinks are used. These flowers
come from Africa and are called “Cape
flowers,” aim “wraith flowers.” They re
feinble in shape a double carnation pink, and
are graceful, ghost-like blossoms. They are
regarded as lucky emblems, messages from
the spirits, and are rattier a joyous garniture
than otherwise, since they are symbolic of
hope. Another floral extravagance is in the
form of composition—China flowers made
up into wreaths, crosses, anchors, etc.,which
are preserved under raised glass cases, and
placed on the mound in the cemetery. This
mound is raised up squarely like a low bed,
with the headstone or monument at the
head of the same.
The funeral hearse is either open at the
sides and ends, or it is closed in quite dark.
During the last year or two, a few hearses
liavo made their appearance with glass
si It'-. These are called “American funeral
carriages,” but they are not popular.
Ihe nearse is ornamented with huge
waving plumes of coal black. The horses
me jet black and have tails sweop
hiff nearly to the ground. They also
have long, full manes, which the passing
breeze, during their slow, measured
stepping blows lightly about. The largest
and handsomest horses are devoted to
luneral travel, both for hearses and mourn
ers carnages, and livery men there are who
seep nothing else in readiness. These horses
to be broken and trained as laboriously
as though for ring riding in a circus. Their
drivers sit very high up with a bluck velvet
pall across their throne-like perches. Their
crape weepers flow down their backs from
one to two yards from their hats. The
horses heads are decorated with nodding
Plumes. The “mutes” walk behind the
hearse.

During the last few years funeral reforms
have done away with a deal of folly, but
na o*i r v l y t lls * lurt - s the undertaker's profit*.
About four years ago a woman dies
who was known as the ‘Queen of the CoS
termongers.’ She had been a miser, and
what she did leave to a grandson—a love
ehUd by the way—she arranged to have ex
pended on her funeral, to which some 800 of
her former companions were bidden. The
men all had tobacco, the women and men
alike a glass of grog. It was a reguar Fair
flay that funeral. Donkeys with their bar
rows were in the majority. The 'Queen.’
who was a rum old character, was dresser!
in white satin. No one knew her save as
‘Queen Kate,’ or ‘Old Kate. 1 Her head
stone bears only the inscription: “Kate, the
Queen the of Costermongers. ’ I did not have
charge of the obsequies mvself; it was oul
of my parish; but a friend of mice did.
For ten years he held the money and diree
tions in trust, which directions ’were faith
fully carried out. Her own words were:
‘v\ hen I croak I want my pals to have n
rum old time at my buryinV ‘Horrible!’ I
exclaimed, while a faint feeling oppressed
me.”
As I spoke a lad passed, wearing on his
left ami a band of black crape. It was an
emblem of mourning. He held a little sist* r
by the hand, a child of 5 or 6 years of age.
The poor little pale midget was fairly swad
dled in black. She seemed, poor child,
overweighted. The whole spectacle was
farcical.
In one funeral observance the sombre
rigor is relaxed. When a child is buried the
tiny hearse is of white wood, the horses are
white ponies, the small coffin is of white.
It is an occasional habit among old country
folks to say softly when such a funeral cor
tege goes along, “An angel passes.”
Cremation in England finds few converts.
It is the opposite extreme to the pomp and
vanity of the traditional London funeral. 1
cannot resist thinking that we lay too great
stress on these grewsome ceremonials. Let
us hl ”T °ur dead “decently and in order,”
avoiding needless feasting of houors. If we
believe that majestic utterance, “I am the
Resurrection ana the Life,” we will regard
the poor body as merely the earthly casket
irom which ths immortal spirit-gem has
winged its happy flight. Then we will,
though tearfully withal, unostentatiously
consign it to mother earth, nor make a re
ligion in the manner of our funerals.
