Such an interesting find! These types of records tend not to survive for the Dublin workhouses. As there were no standard regulations for what happened to the corpse between death and burial, this coffin ticket offers valuable insight into this Welsh workhouse’s mortuary procedures

Over the past few days, I've been looking at workhouse death announcements.
This is a copy of a ticket that was pasted on the coffin allocated to a person having a pauper burial.
