The President shall not permit any funeral to take place until all arrears due to the Synagogue Funds, together with funeral expenses, be discharged, unless in case of the failure of effects of the deceased, and the incapacity of his relatives to pay the whole of the arrears, or the sum for the payment of the ground, when it shall be in the power of the President and Committee to make such arrangements as they may deem fit, and, if necessary, to authorise the funeral expenses to be paid from the Synagogue Funds.
