What exactly is a "Silent Funeral" and who qualifies to get one?
I found the following trascription at:
http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Hindley/index.html

Burial: 14 Nov 1885 All Saints, Hindley, Lancashire, England
Ignatius Atherton -
Age: 82
Abode: Ladies Lane
Notes: Silent Funeral
Register: Burials 1883 - 1887, Page 31, Entry 244
Source: LDS Film 93746

NB I've no interest whatsoever in Ignatius.
