A Grave 4ft. deep is recommended for persons under 12 years of Age. A Grave 5ft. deep for persons above 12 years of Age. These shall be regarded as the ordinary Graves to be prepared by the Sexton, when no special order is given to the contrary. In case of digging a Bricked Grave the following will be the charges: 7ft. deep £1. 2s; 8ft. deep £1. 10s. N.B. The Clergyman and Clerk have always received double fees for extra parochial funerals; No extra charge has been customary to the Sexton, but when the Bier is required there is a charge of 1s for the Sexton. It is requested that all cases of over charge or any complaint against the Sexton be brought immediately to the Churchwardens to be investigated. Also, in order to prevent any mistake, it is desirable that the exact cost be ascertained when the Grave is ordered.
