Once the coffin or corpse down the pit bottom is filled and the area is managed as the grave , according to the habits and patterns in use locally.
A second funeral is sometimes practiced as a result of exhumation for ritual purposes ( Italy ) or judicial ( autopsy ).
In France , in many parishes , for certain until the late eighteenth century , burial was made in the very soil of the church , despite the lack of space, frequency of epidemics , and therefore repeated bans due to health risks for the faithful attending Mass and other offices. Burials in the cemetery had a less sacred, and were the fate of foreigners in the community or the parishioners whose piety or virtue was certainly not a model. The cemetery itself all the places were not equivalent to practice burial, the grave is the place regarded as the least, as its name suggests, the deceased individual private tomb was just placed among those who had preceded him and with the bones removed from graves.
