1000 CREMATIONS

Brisbane Crematorium Establishes Record

Mr. G. W. Morris, secretary of the Brisbane Crematorium. Ltd., said on Saturday that, with the four cremations ordered for that day, they had reached their 1000 cremations since the institution of Mt. Thompson crematorium on September 11. 1934. That was a record for a crematorium or the British Empire at least, and possibly for the world.
