I have found a burial for 1900,in the column for the clergyman's name there is written "Certified Under The Burials Act 1880 by (husband's name)" What does this mean? |

This is usually where a religious service did not take place, so just a burial without 'trappings' and so the husband, in this case, signed to certify the burial took place. |

These type of burials still take place and are called disposals. |
