Whether a husband’s cause of action includes as a part thereof the expense of burying his wife where her death is caused by the wrongful act is an open question. In the Fowlie case we said (184 Minn. 83, 237 N. W. 846) that in such cases “the recovery for loss of services and the expenses incurred in the attempt to save her life is limited to the time intervening between the injury and the death.” But that of course leaves undecided the further question as to whether the husband may recover in such cases for the expenses of his wife’s burial.
