Carshalton and Merton and Morden Joint Cemetery Board have
continued during the year, but whilst a measure of agreement has been
reached to provide a Crematorium at Lower Morden, there is, having
regard to the prevailing economic conditions, no early prospect of the
necessary legal steps being taken to set up a joint Board preparatory
to the establishment of the Crematorium.
Modern mortuary facilities with provision for post-mortem

the year 68 bodies were received into the mortuary, on 67 of which
autopsies were performed.
