The Undertakers' Association
by Peter Lang
Translated by Brad Schwebler
The Undertakers’ Association was
already established by the Germans in Beschka on 11 November 1894.
They also joined the Serbs. The association took care that in a case
of death a dignified funeral could be carried out whether the person was
rich or poor. It especially existed for a dignified hearse and the
necessary funeral personnel. After each case of death the
members paid a small contribution, but it was also enough to carry out a
dignified funeral during times of inflation.
