Death details

[Blairvadach]

Hi folks
Can someone please help me with the last line on the death information for Archibald?
At first I thought M Croft was his mother but the death details for the person below has the same information!
What does “ lying M Croft “ mean?
Thanks

lying IN croft

I concur. Lying in Croft.

But I don't know what 'Croft' means. Is it perhaps part of the kirk? Does the kirk have an undercroft?

Thanks for your help…apparently
What is a croft in a church?
A vaulted chamber, partly or fully underground, usually used for storage. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with 'crypt', though crypt was used primarily as a burial place and place for holding relics, whereas an undercroft was used for general storage purposes.

Thanks

Well you often hear of the “undercroft” which is the crypt, ie a sort of cellar under a church or especially a Cathedral where some burials were ,especially of Church lay officers and Clergy.
