Apostolic Tradition 34
Open in the reader →1No exorbitant charge shall be made for burial in the cemetery, for it belongs to all the poor; only the hire of the grave-digger and the cost of the tile [for closing the niche in the catacombs] shall be asked. The wages of the caretakers are to be paid by the bishop, lest any of those who go to that place be burdened [with a charge]. PART IV
