[How they Bury.] It may not be unacceptable to relate how they burn their Dead.

As for Persons of inferior Quality, they are interred in some convenient places in the Woods, there being no set places for Burial, carried thither by two or three of their Friends, and Buried without any more ado.

[How they Burn.] But Persons of greater quality are burned, and that with Ceremony.

When they are dead they lay them out, and put a Cloth over their Privy Parts, and then wash the Body, by taking half a dozen Pitchers of water, and pouring upon it.
