Tributes - Masons going underground

Another trend that can be seen quite clearly is the new policy of the Freemasons, that being the gradual withdrawal of marked notification of their deceased brethren.

The traditional masonic insignia, the compass and square (as shown in the bottom of the illustration) are becoming a rarer sight in the mass media's tribute sections.

During their life the members of the brotherhood have carried out their orders, and have been rewarded for this, for example by higher paid positions, which are unmerited, or by winning vehicles in raffles, are just to name a couple.

Since the list of members from any lodge is secret, there is no need to advertise the membership for the masses, after the passing of one of their brethren.

They are remembered and acknowledged by the brotherhood.

It is mandatory that their wealth is distributed amongst their favourite charities or the charities that particular lodge sponsors. The actual amount of the deceased estate that can be distributed to charities is 60%.
