ok some explain theabove .I know there are ome cemeterie in Switzerland.
Iwa led to believe that due to it beingGermanic no burials took place
unless you held high office.then someone said no they are burried but
within 100 years they get dug up an,?that is question what happens to
grave markers what are they sold for some use? what kind of ceremony is
held? what kind of music if any is used.do they dress in a certain way
to Honor dead?one last Question on family church information it lists a
TERENA Schild as being widow Peter Schild ofBrienz. why was he not
mentioned just his brother Melchoir Schild.I have othing on ths Peter
whose Parents were Niklaus Schild & Elizabeth ZUMBACH I need information
on This couple Terena &peter both I would say died in BRIenz.any help
appreciated.
