Bills for interment, written on scraps of paper of various sizes. The bills are mostly formulaic; see the printed list of charges for comparison of fees. Most of the bills include the month and date but not the year; those that do include the year note it as 1636. In fact all these bills are from 1636, as confirmed by comparing them to entries in the Register of burials. Text is modernised, except for surnames.
