The story of the origin of this thriving business dates back to some 34 years after the establishment of one of the first, if not the first funeral undertaker or mortician, who was appointed for the town of Boston, Mass., by the Boston Board of Health in June 1816.
As the paragraph above states: we all die, and though we are all different we all share just that. But what happens when we die? where do we go? what happens to our bodies?

Ever since my sister attended Troy University and told me about all the superior activities Troy has to offer, I have wanted to attend this college. Troy has an outstanding nursing program, and that is the career field I plan on going into prior graduation. I have always wanted to specialize in neonatal nursing with sick babies. Troy also has some awesome sororities at their school I am interested in being a part of. Alpha Gamma Delta is the sorority I am most interested in. They strive to achieve academic excellence and they help out their school as much as they can. Lastly, Troy has a very beautiful, clean, and safe campus. Feeling safe while walking around your college is a very important factor to me.

Enough so that he would tread on the edge of contravercy to this very moment.

During the war, battles would continue into night but tended to be quite unproductive as you could not see where you were shooting. Tracer bullets were originally invented in 1915 as a way to create light while fighting late at night but the light trail was “erratic” and only lasted 100 meters. Finally in 1916, the .303 SPG Mark VIIG tracer bullets were invented. This version emitted a much brighter, green-white trail and was a great success during nighttime battles. One thing the British did not expect was for the trail to be flammable, this tracer bullet

These aspects of life had a significant impact on the preparation of dead bodies, the meaning of a funeral, and the memorials for the dead during the Renaissance. It is intriguing to imagine what the funeral customs of today would be like with statistics like those of the
