I hadn't heard of a Mort Cloth before, after a quick search: http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bldr/funerals.html and that seems to be accurate.

This is located in Berwick, Scotland.

It either looks like Bellshiel or Bellshill

Would any of those fit?

Bellshills/Bellshiels seems appropriate for this record. Thank you!

I am not sure what the word in front of it means, but it may be irrelevant?
