Rome's laws of inheritance determined who paid for, arranged and led funerals; usually the paterfamilias as main beneficiary, but if he was also the deceased, then his heir must take responsibility. Failing that, someone could be nominated to the task of leading the ceremonies, but the cost still fell to the heir or heirs; or as Cicero put it, the duty went with the money. If the deceased was a married woman, the cost should be paid by her husband, or from her dowry if she had been emancipated from her father. A slave who died as a loyal member of a "familia" might receive a decent funeral, housing in the "familia" mausoleum, tomb or "columbaria" (shared "dovecote" style mausoleum) and commemoration in an inscription; A freedman or woman might be buried and commemorated at the expense of their patron. All others could apply to join officially recognised burial societies, which guaranteed a decent burial, or at least a memorial, as long as due subscriptions were kept up-to-date Some persons and professions, such as gladiators, butchers and executioners were permanently polluted and dishonoured by their professional association with blood and death, and belonged to a social category known as "infames", allowed a very restricted set of citizens' rights. They had their own burial clubs and segregated cemeteries, with funerals and memorials for their members.
