Hi

More of the dead to awaken the living.
I came across a longish article by Keith P. Luria, entitled: Separated
by Death? [etc] in which the writer says that the separation of Catholic
and Huguenot cemeteries was decreed by the Edict of Nantes. Prior to
this, most burial grounds were shared. When separate cemeteries could
not be provided, the old communal ones were often divided in two, with
the Catholics getting that section which was closer to the church.
