A cholera pit was a burial place used in a time of emergency when the disease was prevalent. Such mass graves were often unmarked and were placed in remote or specially selected locations. Public fears of contagion, lack of space within existing churchyards and restrictions placed on the movements of people from location to location also contributed to their establishment and use. Many of the victims were poor and lacked the funds for memorial stones, however memorials were sometimes added at a later date.

  • Les fosses et cimetières du choléra étaient des lieux d'inhumation utilisés en cas d'urgence lorsque le choléra était répandu. Ces fosses communes étaient souvent non marquées et étaient placées dans des endroits éloignés ou spécialement sélectionnés. Les craintes de la population concernant la contagion, le manque de place dans les cimetières existants et les restrictions imposées aux déplacements des personnes d'un endroit à l'autre ont également contribué à leur création et à leur utilisation. De nombreuses victimes étaient pauvres et n'avaient pas les moyens d'acheter des pierres commémoratives. Des mémoriaux ont ensuite souvent été placés sur ces lieux d'inhumations. (fr)
  • En kolerakyrkogård var en typ av massgrav, där människor som avled under koleraepidemier begravdes. Gravarna kunde var och en rymma många kistor. (sv)
