BURYING GROUNDS OF ROUEN.

There are at present, five burying grounds for the roman catholics, and
two for the protestants. They are the burying grounds of
_Saint-Gervais_, _Beauvoisine_, _Val-de-la-Jatte_, of which a part has
been walled off for the protestants; _Mont-Gargan_, _Saint-Sever_, and
_Champ-des-Oiseaux_, which latter forms the second protestant burying
ground. The great demand of families, to obtain a piece of ground, on
which to erect a monument on the tomb of a relation, had caused a great
diminution of ground for interments; the municipal administration
therefore took measures to prevent the consequences of it. On the
proposition of the marquis de Martainville, then mayor of the town they
determined, on the 24th april 1823, that a monumental burying should be
established on the east of Rouen, on a portion of the hill of Fir-Trees
which was barren, and could be disposed of without any loss.

This new burying ground contains about ten acres of ground, enclosed
with walls. A chapel is erected on the highest point of the hill; and a
vault has been formed under it for the provisional deposit of bodies,
which cannot be interred immediately. A tariff exists, which regulates
the sum to be paid by families, who wish to purchase a place in this
burying ground.
