Hand bell rung in conjunction with deaths and funerals
The 1641 Glasgow ‘deid bell’, now on display in Glasgow's People's Palace on Glasgow Green. The bell features the city's coat of arms: the tree, the bell, the fish and the bird, recalling events from the life of St Mungo.
A dead bell or deid bell (Scots), also a 'death', 'mort', 'lych', 'passing bell' or 'skellet bell'[1] was a form of hand bell used in Scotland and northern England[2] in conjunction with deaths and funerals up until the 19th century.
