Plano, Texas Miscellaneous Reports of Investigations Number 545 GMI No. 22005.00.08 ISBN: 978-1-935545-12-5 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) plans improvements to Farm-to-Market road (FM) 1464 between Stratford Creek Drive and Oyster Creek, Sugar Land, Texas, in eastern Fort Bend County, southwest of downtown Houston. Those proposed improvements will expand the FM 1464 right-of-way about 20 feet eastward into an approximately 328-foot length adjacent to New Home Cemetery, which is at the intersection of FM 1464 and Orchard Lake Estates Drive. This report recounts the recovery, analysis, and reinterment of the human remains, funerary objects and furnishings, and all associated artifacts associated with burials found in the right-of- way adjacent to New Home Cemetery (41FB334) as proscribed by contractual agreements between Geo-Marine, Inc., and TxDOT. Previous investigations within the right-of-way during the spring of 2010 had encountered human remains and associated funerary objects, prompting further excavation of the right-of-way bordering the cemetery. Geo-Marine was subsequently contracted by TxDOT to search, exhume, analyze, and rebury any human remains found within the right-of-way and under the existing roadbed of FM 1464. From November 15, 2010, to December 17, 2010, Geo-Marine conducted the first phase of fieldwork with the archaeological search, exhumation, and analysis of multiple historic graves. A total of 24 unmarked burials—11 complete skeletons and 13 partial—was recovered. The comprehensive osteological analyses included the identification of sex, age, ethnicity, pathology, nutrition, and other health history, plus possible/probable cause of death. The detailed analyses revealed that these individuals were engaged in an active lifestyle mostly associated with physical labor. This lifestyle unfortunately led to severe physical pain and suffering, and at times early death. During that investigative phase, funerary materials, including casket handles, nails, and thumbscrews, were sent to the funerary hardware specialist to determine typology, material, and timeframe. Based on the funerary analyses, the timeframe for the burials ranged from 1895 through the late 1960s. In addition, a small area indicating a prehistoric component was identified near the north end of the scraped area, but contained no evidence of the historic cemetery. The second phase of the project began on May 2, 2011, with the systematic scraping of the area located under the old roadbed. No burials or human remains were encountered during that phase. Only a small amount of possible funerary material was recovered from underneath the roadway; the majority of items encountered were associated with modern or industrial trash. Reinterment iii occurred on May 9, 2011, during the second phase of search and recovery. The 24 individuals removed and recorded during Phase I were reinterred, along with all associated funerary objects and furnishings as well as with all associated artifacts, within the existing New Home Cemetery. iv ABSTRACT The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) plans improvements to Farm-to-Market road (FM) 1464 between Stratford Creek Drive and Oyster Creek, Sugar Land, Texas, in eastern Fort Bend County, southwest of downtown Houston.

  • Catholic Covid-19 Handling
    ICRC REGIONAL DELEGATION TO INDONESIA AND TIMOR-LESTE GUIDELINES ON MANAGEMENT OF THE DEAD WITH COVID-19 FOR PROTESTANTS TO CHRISTIAN MINISTERS, CONGREGATION, AND CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS, The Regional Delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to Indonesia and Timor-Leste in Jakarta has provided support to the Government of Indonesia along with both governmental and non-governmental agencies in efforts to manage COVID-19. On this occasion, the ICRC wants to extend its gratitude and appreciation to religious leaders, traditional leaders and community leaders who have actively participated in delivering important messages related to COVID-19, including management of the dead, whether in positive confirmed cases, people under monitoring, and patients under supervision. To clarify some of the key messages that have been circulated, below is the summary of information related to management of the dead for victims of COVID-19 compiled by the ICRC based on references from authorities, international agencies, the the Association of Churches of Indonesia (PGI) and recommendations from the ICRC’s forensics experts. This message needs to be disseminated in order to uphold human dignity, both for the living and for the dead. MANAGEMENT OF THE DEAD • In funeral rites during the COVID-19 pandemic all dead bodies must be treated as COVID-19 positive and considered to be contagious. Therefore the handling of the body should follow government regulations and medical protocol. • The body should only be treated by trained health personnel or those who are authorized to use standard personal protective equipment. • All components of the protective suits should be kept in a place separated from ordinary clothes.

  • Cremation-2016.Pdf
    Cremation Cremation is the act of reducing a corpse to ashes by burning, generally in a crematorium furnace or crematory fire. In funerals, cremation can be an alternative funeral rite to the burial of a body in a grave. Modern Cremation Process The cremation occurs in a 'crematorium' which consists of one or more cremator furnaces or cremation 'retorts' for the ashes. A cremator is an industrial furnace capable of generating 870-980 °C (1600-1800 °F) to ensure disintegration of the corpse. A crematorium may be part of chapel or a funeral home, or part of an independent facility or a service offered by a cemetery. Modern cremator fuels include natural gas and propane. However, coal or coke was used until the early 1960s. Modern cremators have adjustable control systems that monitor the furnace during cremation. A cremation furnace is not designed to cremate more than one body at a time, which is illegal in many countries including the USA. The chamber where the body is placed is called the retort. It is lined with refractory brick that retain heat. The bricks are typically replaced every five years due to heat stress. © 2016 All Star Training, Inc. Page 1 Modern cremators are computer-controlled to ensure legal and safe use, e.g. the door cannot be opened until the cremator has reached operating temperature. The coffin is inserted (charged) into the retort as quickly as possible to avoid heat loss through the top- opening door. The coffin may be on a charger (motorized trolley) that can quickly insert the coffin, or one that can tilt and tip the coffin into the cremator.

  • FUNERALS WITHOUT a FUNERAL DIRECTOR Information It Is Often
    FUNERALS WITHOUT A FUNERAL DIRECTOR Information It is often assumed, quite wrongly, that funerals can be completed only with the use of a funeral director. Although a funeral director will be invited to organise the majority of funerals, some people prefer to organise funerals themselves. The details in the individual sections of this Charter give sufficient information to achieve this. Your Charter member will also supply a leaflet giving you local information. The funeral director typically organises the funeral by collecting and moving the body, arranging embalming and viewing of the deceased, providing a coffin, hearse and other elements. Carrying out these services relieves the bereaved from doing what they may feel are unpleasant and difficult tasks. Ultimately, the funeral director must operate commercially and in charging for his or her services, funerals can be expensive. In addition, the funeral director imposes him/herself on the arrangements to a greater or lesser degree. Some people do not wish to use a funeral director. This can be for a wide variety of reasons. They may feel that passing the body of a loved one over to strangers is wrong. Some feel that personally organising the funeral is their final tribute to the deceased person. Others may simply wish to save money by doing everything themselves or may have used a funeral director on a previous occasion and found the experience unsatisfactory. Some may feel that funerals arranged with a funeral director are routine and processed, and may desire an innovative and different approach. It is, of course, your right to make this decision without giving a reason.

ORTT VETERANS, HOMELAND SECURITY SENATOR, 62ND DISTRICT AND MILITARY AFFAIRS Dear Veterans and Family Members, The United States of America has traditionally paid its respects to deceased veterans by providing honorary, and in many cases, financial services to members of the veteran’s family. While it is sometimes painful to plan ahead for the parting of a loved one, it is nonetheless wise for veterans and their families to ease the transition during this time by collecting important information now. This document serves as a checklist for veterans and their families in obtaining this information including access to current forms, military data, burial benefits and other official documents which may be required to satisfy U.S. Veterans’ Affairs, as well as insurance companies, the Social Security Administration and others. There are seven sections in this document: Section I: Veteran’s personal data. Section II: Checklist to use at time of the veteran’s passing. Section III: A list of official documents needed to submit claims for VA benefits, a list of useful veteran’s contacts, a summary of veteran burial honors and a form for miscellaneous data.
