Au Québec, le charnier est aussi un petit bâtiment dans l’enceinte d’un cimetière pour entreposer les corps des personnes décédées pendant les mois d’hiver afin de les inhumer au printemps. In Quebec, the charnel house is a small building near the cemetery to store the dead bodies during the winter months. They are buried in spring as soon as the ground is not frozen.
