At 2 p.m. the body was removed to the Mather Funeral Home in Princeton

and from there, ninety minutes later, to the Ewing Crematorium in Trenton,

where twelve people close to Einstein gathered.* One of them spoke briefly, recit-

ing lines from Goethe's Epilog zu Schiller's Glocke. The body was cremated

immediately thereafter. The ashes were scattered at an undisclosed place.
