Hi Everyone, Does anyone know anything about Paupers graves when the person being buried was not a pauper. My grandfather died 1954 at Maidsonte. I always knew both he and my grandmother before him had one. I obtained his death cert. just in case it said anything. It does not. So I will now send for his will, to see if it says anything. He was not a pauper, far from it. He was a Master Baker and owned at least 2 houses when he died. My sister and I are wondering if their bodies were donated to science. Would the bodies then be buried as paupers? There was no funeral, my father one brother and sister were not informed by other sister until after the deaths in both cases. Could someone just opt for a paupers grave.? I would have thought if you could afford it you would not expect someone else to pay, even without frills. So if anyone has any thoughts on the subject I would like to hear. Regards, Sylvia on a beautiful winter day in Aus.
