Among Those Who Sailed Last Saturday for Liverpool
NEW YORK, MAY 7, 1915 - The Lusitania sailed from here last Saturday in the face of a warning published on the day of her departure by the German Embassy, which stated that invadiers intending to embark on British ships did so at the risk of the ships being destroyed in accordance with the German war zone decree.

THOMAS, the wealthy Welsh coat operator, and his daughter Lady MACKWORTH, an English suffragette; the Rev. Basil W. MATURIN, Oxford England; Charles FROHMAN, Charles KLEIN, and Justus Miles FORMAN.

Coffin plates often contain birth and death dates, and sometimes the place of birth or the occupation of a deceased person.
While not technically a true vital record, coffin plates can be seen as a substitute for vital records or at the least a good clue. In the case of people who died before civil registration it might be one of the few written records genealogists will find in their hunt for that brick wall ancestor!
If you want to know more about what things qualify as a true Vital Records there is a good article at the Olive Tree.
Remember when searching for Coffin Plates on the net they are sometimes referred to as Coffin Plaques, Casket plates or Casket Plaques.
