Excerpt from Epitaphiana, or the Curiosities of Churchyard Literature: Being a Miscellaneous Collection of Epitaphs, With an Introduction Giving an Account of Various Customs Prevailing Amongst the Ancients and Moderns in the Disposal of Their Dead

It has Often been a matter of surprise to the writer that so much nonsense has been allowed to be engraved and erected in churchyards showing, no doubt, that our clergymen have not that requisite authority in this matter which they should have. The burial-grounds of Roman Catholics are freer from such doggerel, from the fact that the priest supervises everything that is set up in their churchyards.
