'Flush' Of Crapper Enthusiasts Rededicate Grave in England
After years of neglect, Thomas Crapper's grave was recently restored by the firm he established in 1861. More than 30 people, some by the name of "Crapper," and others representing Britain's sanitaryware manufacturers, attended the rededication ceremony May 4 at Beckenham Cemetery, located in southeast London.
Among the prayers, Rev. Canon Carpenter read a Biblical verse that mentions "cistern." After the service, a cake in the shape of a water closet was served.
