A list of such euphemisms can be found in Fulton and Geis, p. 15, another in Kramer, 14, and another in Mitford 18, 77, and 229. Mitford discusses this numerous times since it is a prominent feature of the funeral industry which she was investigating. See also Harald Gunderson, A History of Funeral Direction in Alberta (Calgary: Alberta Funeral Association, 1993), 55, which features actual instructions given to members of the industry in this regard.
