Hi Mary
How interesting! I will certainly look into this further with my next trip up to the library. The only thing there is that it is in Denny Loanhead, which is quite a bit out of the way of Falkirk, so I would expect it to say the Meeting house Denny. I think Denny was a Parish in its own right, as was Larbert.
I will try and get more though as I hadnt heard of this at all.
Many thanks and it looks like an interesting site too,

Do bear in mind that having a death registered in a parish didn't mean the the deceased was actually buried there.

If he was a congregant of a "breakaway ministry" or one that had no churchyard in the parish of death, he's likely have been taken to a more appropriate one outside the parish.
