La Chapelle aux Saints - Burial ground at La Bouffia Bonneval

Jean and Amédée Bouyssonie, in collaboration with Louis Bardon unearthed approximately 1,000 artefacts, including flint tools, weapons, and a wide variety of bones from diverse animal species, such as reindeer, ox, horse, wolf, fox, and even woolly rhinoceros. La Chapelle aux Saints is a small village in the Sourdoire Valley, southeast of Limousin in the Limousin region. On August 3, 1908, they discovered a young Neanderthal burial at a site called La Bouffia Bonneval.

“Grief is a most peculiar thing; we’re so helpless in the face of it. It’s like a window that will simply open of its own accord. The room grows cold, and we can do nothing but shiver. But it opens a little less each time, and a little less; and one day we wonder what has become of it.” – Arthur Golden

Sprigs of rosemary were often carried by people in the funeral procession and cast onto the coffin before burial, much as roses are today. And as an evergreen plant, rosemary was associated with eternal life. As a fragrant herb, it was also often placed inside coffins to conceal any odors. This was important because bodies often lay in state for days and sometimes weeks before burial, while preparations were made and mourners travelled to attend the funeral.

"Grief is not a disorder, a disease or sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love." – Earl A. Grollman

Styles of gravestones can be traced to different origins. The common upright headstone most likely originated in European and American Colonial churchyard burial grounds and evolved to resemble those of today, with details of the deceased’s life engraved on the stone. Another common graveyard site, the obelisk-style gravestone, first appeared in ancient Egypt.
