I'm no expert for medieval mortuary rites but it should be something like that...
Space of all kind was pretty rare within
the fortifications of a German town during the middle eages. So usually the graveyard was way to small to loop up with the dead - especially in times of plague. If a body was long enough burried in the ground for the flesh dropping of the bones the undertaker dug up the remains and arranged them in the bonehouse.
This bonehouse is located in Oppenheim and within reach of all these places:
