Bavaria - Lutheran burial terms?

Gina Palmer

I'm looking at Protestant burial records from 1842 in Fürth, Bavaria in Archion.

In the pastor/substitute column, the entries include a term before the pastor's name. The term includes the following examples:
Einsegnung, Kaßaleiche/also: Kasseleiche, Collektenleiche, Gebetleiche, and Einsegnung gratis.

I can get a feel for what is meant, but haven't been able to find a good translation, nor explanation of the terms or the practice of using them. Has anyone seen this before or have more insight about what is meant by the different terms?

Very interesting. I've never seen these terms before and I couldn't find much on the internet. Only Kollektenleiche is described in one place as "Deceased person at whose funeral money is collected for church purposes" (chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/file:///C:/Users/ASUS/Downloads/BroschZschonergrund2%20(4).pdf)

I would assume that all terms refer to the form and expense of the burial, possibly like this:

• Kaßa-/Kassaleiche: paid for in cash
• Collekten-/Kollektenleiche: paid by the collected donation
• Gebetleiche: a smaller funeral without sermon and music, only a prayer
• Einsegnung: similar to Gebetleiche (?), only a blessing
