Mortuary Accommodation—Arrangements with Other Authorities
Holborn Borough Council
An arrangement exists between the City Council and the Holborn
Borough Council whereby bodies from Holborn, which are not the concern
of H.M. Coroner, can be accommodated at the City Council's Mortuary
in Horseferry Road whilst awaiting burial.
The arrangement came into operation in September, 1956; no bodies
were received in the Mortuary from Holborn during 1964.
