** Scottish death certificates only recorded the place of burial and the name of the undertaker in the years 1855 to 1860. The OPRs (Church of Scotland registers before 1855) sometimes recorded either the death or burial or both, but often neither, usually with just a name and date. Gordon. Neil asked; Hello In scotland's death certificates there is a date recorded for death and one for registration but not one for burial. So I wondered if it was standard practice to record deaths before or after burial, or if there was no set custom at all. Any suggestions? Thanks Neil Perth, Aus ****************************************
