Please note I wrote "churchyard", which is not the same as a cemetery.
Cemeteries are a more modern variant of burial place, and also around here
don't have churches (they have chapels). The traditional churchyards often
are not used for burials any more, today people get mostly buried in
cemeteries.

By the way, how much is that fish over there? ;-)

Cheers,
Martin
