Hi More of the dead to awaken the living. I came across a longish article by Keith P. Luria, entitled: Separated by Death? [etc] in which the writer says that the separation of Catholic and Huguenot cemeteries was decreed by the Edict of Nantes. Prior to this, most burial grounds were shared. When separate cemeteries could not be provided, the old communal ones were often divided in two, with the Catholics getting that section which was closer to the church.
