During the Black death, bodies were at first buried. but as the mortality rate increased, burying the bodies became too laborious the churches began to burn the bodies. a common nursery rhyme is proof of this. Ring around the rosy. A pocket full of posies. Ashes, Ashes! We all fall down! Ring around the rosy- Rosary beads that gave you God's guidance and help. A pocket full of posies- Posies were used to mask the odor of decaying bodies. which was thought to cause the plague. Ashes, Ashes!- The church burned the deceased when they could no longer bury the bodies. We all fall down- Death.

Well during the black death many people were killed. This made all populated places with the black death reek of dead bodies and corpses. This is where the song "ring around the rosie" originated.
