Re: Brazil - Decomposing Bodies in Family Crypt
It's an Ossuary. Common in Latin America. An ossuary is a chest, box, building, well, or site made to serve as the final resting place of human skeletal remains. They are frequently used where a permanent burial space is too expensive for the local economy. Dying is unavoidable no matter how poor you are. A body is first buried in a temporary grave, then after some years the skeletal remains are removed and placed in an ossuary ("os" is "bone" in Latin). The greatly reduced space taken up by an ossuary means that it is possible to store the remains of many more people in a single tomb than if the original coffins were left as is. |

Re: Brazil - Decomposing Bodies in Family Crypt
Oh my god that is disturbing. No disrespect to their culture but how is this somehow honoring their dead relatives. Is that the idea at least?
