0.2 linear metres

GB 0074 B/SPC 1891-1969 Collection 0.2 linear metres Spicers , undertakers and funeral directors

Spicers of 346 Caledonian Road, began as undertakers, but later became funeral directors. These records contain a considerable amount of detail concerning funeral arrangements from the late Victorian era.

Donated to the Archive in 1973.

Records of Spicers, formerly undertakers, later funeral directors, 1891-1969. The records consist of business registers and journals. Although the period covered is 1891-1969, the high commmencing folio in volume one (foliating through successive volumes was common stationers' practice in the nineteenth century) suggests that there may have been an earlier volume which has not survived. Details range from the size of coffin in the first volume to comprehensive coverage of names, addresses, ages, where died, where service held, where buried or cremated, grave nos, cost etc. in the third. Also two photographs of premises.

Three volumes in chronological order; two photographs.

These records are available for public inspection, although records containing personal information are subject to access restrictions under the UK Data Protection Act, 1998.

Copyright rests with the City of London.
