You were almost there:
French for goat = chevre (pronounced shevra)
Hebrew for company, society, brotherhood, when transliterated with Ashkenazi
spelling = chevra (pronounced Hevra)
Synagogue burial society = Chevra Kaddisha (lit. Holy Brotherhood) = holy
goats
Most French people are Catholic and would think of the Father, Son and Holy
Goats
Hag sameach,
