I think the term ossuary can refer to a box or a place where such boxes are
kept.
Two years ago I went to my family village, Porto Formoso on Sao Miguel. We
went to the cemetery to find out what we could find out. The man there,
quite a character, showed us a bone box. What they did was bury
the spelling is Manilla, two L's.

Hi Anthony S,
The Azores are divided into 3 districts. So which island again? And you are
searching before 1911 (before 1905 on most of Sao Miguel), correct?

hmmm, I think I have seen something like that here in Australia.
so, regarding the archive, where would I go for those?

Many have been exhumed without the family present; my dad for example. It
may have been a rule or more likely that the family are still there that
would be notified of the pending exhumation. Attendance may be mandatory in
that instance. However, I know my father's family is still there and
I would think *most* people would be just bones? There are always
exceptions. So sorry your cousin saw that.

Thank you Monica for the image.

Yes Cheri it is.
Looking at yours, mine is much bigger. I believe that if a family member of
my father wants to be in there, they can share the space with my dad.
Perhaps that's why they make it a bit bigger.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello,
I've recently had to deal with my father's bones being placed in an ossuary.
My father passed away in 1987 and the cemetery had placed him on the list
to exhume back in 2017. Instead of his bones to be placed in a mass grave
of bones, I had the option to have him placed in a n ossuary
