[CBQ] Re: Shipping human remains by rail

["Douglas Harding" <doug.harding@iowacentralrr.org>]

Paster means a sticker or labled "pasted" on to something, ie the coffin or
shipping box in this situation. No doubt the term comes from days before
adhesives and self-stick labels. The clerk would have a pot of paste, and
the form was label paster to indicate it was the piece of paperwork that was
to be attached to the box.

 

Fortunately I have always served in areas where we had funeral directors who
took care of all matters related to caring for the dead. Though I have had
to help carry the casket to the grave a few times due to a shortage of
pallbearers or family.
