Index to Deaths in Blair Atholl Parish

The early Blair Atholl Kirk Session minutes record when they had to assist poor people by paying for a coffin or 'dead clothes'. From January 1757 the deaths of more affluent people are recorded through payments for the use of the parish mortcloth at their funerals. The loaning out of the fine mortcloth was both popular and a useful source of income for the parish 'poor fund'. In 1760 the Kirk Session purchased a second mortcloth of a coarser material which was made available to the less well-off for a smaller payment.
