| TEXT | It is only in the last few years that any apparent alterations have been made in the forms and customs for.the burial of the dead, and it is entirely due to the refinement of the present age that the occupation of the undertaker has risen from a trade to the dignity almost of a profession. The undertaking establishment of Mr. Thomas Brown, No. 192 Rivington Street, is justly entitled to permanent recognition in this volume as one of the oldest and most complete houses of its kind in this section of the city. This house was originally established by the present proprietor as far back as 1838, and has continued in the same location for forty-six years Though so many years have passed away since it was founded, Mr Brown, who has had charge of the Union Cemetery for more than forty years, is still remarkably active and energetic. The premises occupied are very commodious, and in the warerooms may be seen samples of the latest designs in wood, glass and cloth-covered caskets and burial cases, with every variety of trimming and undertaking upholstery to meet the requirements and tastes of the public. Mr Brown manufactures many of his own caskets, and attends personally to all the de tails of funerals, furnishing the carriages, hearse, corpse preserver, and generally superintending the manage ment of affairs to the entire satisfaction of bereaved friends and relatives. Mr. Brown is a native of New York, and can well remember when this mighty city, which now has a population of one million three hundred thousand, had only three hundred and fifty thou- sand, and when up town was totally unknown. He has lived to see New York one of the greatest and most important of the cities of the civilized world, and we trust he will long be spared to witness still greater progress in our wonderful metropolis. Personally, he is a. gentleman whose qualifications eminently fit him for the delicate and responsible business which he has so successfully followed, and we have the greatest pleasure in commending his house to those who may require his services, assuring them that in every requisite he will be found prepared to give the utmost satisfaction. |
