Hello.
The same can be said of the California Moissions: many of the Missons
have the same situation, with one or more Mission founders or pastors
buried in coffins placed in the floor of the nave between the altar and
the Communion rail, or even between the Communion rail and the first pew.
The same can also be said of lay people of some rank (influential
pioneers, etc) in the local citizenrym but in these cases, the tomb or
coffin would not necessarily be in a room under the church but right
below the marker in the floor. Keep in mind also that this is only my
impression from the size of the markers I have seen at various Missions,
so it is not necessarily all that accurate.
