In a conversation......some paperwork apparently has turned up saying some relatives were buried in prescription graves, and that they had to pay to have their names added to the gravestone. Sounds like a paupers grave, but this family had money, so I not sure. thanks Debbie |

It hasn't got anything to do with a Dr Graves in USA on trial for misuse of precription drugs to his patients. Just a thought, after I googled 'prescription graves' Sunny |

Just found this googled Prescription Burials, But what does it mean in laymans terms!!! 3. Where, by faculty or prescription, the members of a family have acquired a right to be buried in a particular place in any such burial ground as aforesaid, such right shall, in conformity with the provisions in that behalf of the Irish Church Act, 1869, be acknowledged, and effect shall be given to the same by the officiating member of the clergy and churchwardens charged with the care thereof. Thanks Debbie |

A guess Prescription in this case means 'previously written'. In other words, any written arrangements made before the Irish Church Act, must be honoured by the Clergy. So, if all the Murphys in one village had been buried since time immemorial in one particular grave, or position, then they still had this right, which would override any ideas the Clergy and Churchwardens might have.
