Regret at an increase, claimed to be 100 per cent., in the cost of burial in Christchurch public cemeteries is expressed in an article printed under the heading “The High Cost of Dying,” hi the latest issue of the Church News. "One of the unfortunate results of the 40-hour week and the rising cost of living is that to-day it costs exactly 100 per cent more to be buried In a Christchurch public cemetery than It did a year ago,” states the article. “The City Council has increased the total charge for a single plot and burial therein to £4 10s, the previous charge being £2 ss. The single plot costs £2 10s, last year £1 ss; the opening of the grave £2, last year £l. Thus the poor have to complain of the high cost of dying as well as of living.”
