CREMATORIES INCREASE.
Preferred in Berlin, Owing to High
Cost of Burial Lots.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERLlN.—Berliners prefer crema
tion of the deceased to burial or inter
ment in mausoleums. The number of
funerals in recent months has been
about 2,100 per month. Os these the
number of cremations was usually
about 1.075, that of burials 1,025.
The chief reason for the preferenc
given cremation is an economic one.

In a world city like Berlin burial lot*
are expensive, and the cemeteries are
far beyond the confines of the city and
difficult of access. Then, too. the cre
matories furnish double coffins—that
is, the outer coffin is heavy oak and
the inner pasteboard. The family pays
only for the inner coffin, which is
burned with the corpse, while the
oaken coffin remains property of the
crematory and is loaned successively
to bereaved families.
