    3. For those who are interested in the types of burials I found this reference Terminology: i. Private- burial in a grave for which a right of burial (deed) has been issued for a fee. Re-opening, intermnet and digging fees are charged by the cemetery; ii. Public (common)- burial in unmarked ground [but defined on the gravesite map] at no charge. Interment and digging fees ared charged by the cemetery; iii. Pauper (destitute/government funerals/crown burial/free) - burial in unmarked ground [but defined on the gravesite map] for which the cemetery charges no fees for either the land or hte internment. A periodic contract is let by the government for the cost of the funeral. Article cat, Land and Environment Article Ref. 69 Carmel
