Warwickshire / suicides and burials
« on: Saturday 08 May 10 18:44 BST (UK) »
Hi,
in 1910-1914 if someone committed suicide would it be the law that they were placed in an unmarked grave? (as in not allowed to have a religious ceremony .... )
my gg grandfather took his own life in 1910 (of unsound mind his death cert reads.. )
also my ggm died in the same circumstances 4 yrs later, she was an inmate of the union workhouse. is it more than likely the workhouse paid for her funeral and where would she most likely be buried ? i know warwick hospital is now in the location of where the workhouse used to be, where would the burial place of been ?
If anyone is familiar with the town of Leamington and could help me with these queries id really appreciate it
thank you
