EXHUMATION AND RE-INTERMENT OF
BODIES.
St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Harrow Road.
During the year licences were granted by the Secretary
of State for the exhumation and removal of the bodies of
seven persons from the catacombs or graves in St. Mary's
Cemetery.
One body was removed to the churchyard at Winkfield
for re-interment, and six bodies were re-interred in St.
Mary's Cemetery, Kensal Green.
The following conditions were attached to the
licences:—
(1) That the removal be effected with due care and
attention to decency early in the morning.
(2) That freshly made ground lime be freely sprinkled
over the coffin, the soil, or any matter that may
be offensive, and in the case of the body removed
to Winkfield—the remains be conveyed to the
churchyard and be there re-interred, provided
that if any of the wooden shells in which the
coffins are contained shall be found to be decayed
the coffin shall be placed in a new wooden shell
prior to removal.
The work of removal and re-interment was carried out
in accordance with the conditions and under the supervision of the Sanitary Inspector on my behalf.
