Anent, the "consecrated ground" business, Luther's "justification by faith alone" lead to burial rites being abolished in the Protestant churches. Processions, bell ringing & burial in consecrated ground became an irrelevance & burials inside a church in particular were banned in Scotland, often with difficulty as lairds liked their family vaults but were charged for the use of them. Still banned in Germany apparently by all the churches.
