People were often burned in numbers or buried in large graves in great numbers as 100s died every day
They were either burned, or buried in mass graves, because the people were dying in great numbers..
I watched something on the history channel about this... apparently they'd carefully burn the bodies of the people who died or set the people's homes on fire so the disease wouldn't spread.
In some cases, fearing they'd get sick, everyone would just completely avoid a home where they knew to be dead bodies (some would leave town/abandon their farms).
Black death victims were buried in a plague pit which were referred to as mass graves. Normal burial and funerary observance began to be no longer during the major plague outbreaks because the disposal of the bodies were to great and became a problem.
Burial of 40% of the population is completely unfeasible; corpses were burnt. <P>
