At the Saints-Innocents, Paris, when the charnel house was full, they filled
the St-Innocents church's roofs of bones. What's happened when the roofs
where full? People probably had to be buried somewhere else. There's an
interresting book on the used of the charnel and cimeteries:
Daniele Alexandre-Bidon. "A reveiller les morts. La mort au quotidien dans
l'Occident medieval". Lyon, Presses universitaires de Lyon, 1993, 334p.
Merry Christmas to all of yours.
