I worked on an 18th century burial site which was unconsecrated as far as the Church was concerned, mostly consisting of suicides and unbaptised babies, after the skeletons were removed we were told they would be sent to Belgium for analysis. They were incinerated there as it was considered too costly to re inter them, a profoundly depressing experience.
