Ann, if that is the case then a lot of my rellies were passed over the wall, and given that the cemetery is on a very steep hillside, it must have taken a lot of effort! |

Someone told me that if you were to be buried in unconsecrated ground then you would not enter the churchyard through the gate but were passed over the wall in your coffin! |

That doesn't sound right, Sue. Glossop, Derbyshire, cemetery has unconsecrated ground, but most of it is consecrated, and included several areas for different religions. |

Consecrated ground is blessed by a Bishop. Some people may prefer to be buried in ground that has not been blessed and has no religious significance. |
