Dear all I understand from the Catholic Encyclopedia that from the second half of the fifteenth century it was permitted to members of confraternities of the Holy Rosary to be buried in the Dominican habit. Was the like privilege enjoyed by confraters of the Benedictine monks, or did the lay person seeking such a thing have to risk seeking admission _ad succurrendum_ as their time approached?
