Inside page this verse: A sudden change dear friends, upon me fell,
I had not time to bid you all farewell.
Think nothing strange, death happens unto all
My lot's today, tomorrow yours may fall.
God calling yet! I cannot stay.
My heart I yield without delay.
Vain world farewell! from thee I part.
The voice of God has reached my heart.

In the 72nd year of his age
Not lost but gone forever

No mention of a funeral director or place of burial....... with the front design I take it that his ship (Life) has been anchored.
