Sorry, that's not it. It is shorthand for <<inhume dans le cave de l'eglise>> or in English "buried in the cellar (or basement, if you want, although basement is better translated as sous-sol, and <cave> has always been 'cellar')of the church".

I'm a bit bewildred by the use of "cave" here. The english word cave means "grotte" (had to search for that one in my dictionary NL - FR) (grot in dutch). I associated this cave with hidden churches because of religious disputes over the ages. Please give me an update on the use of this word in french. (Dutch, English, German and French are all readable, but in the order mentioned I might need more and more to grab some dictionary for details).
