High Priced Undertakers Fueling Pride of the Poor
A New York City observer warns that rich undertakers exploit poor families during funerals. He notes one day-old baby, a ragpicker mother, and funerals costing at least 100 dollars. He accuses undertakers, livery, grog shops, and motto makers of driving lavish pageantry for profit across tenement districts and even to Calvary cemetery in Brooklyn.
