After-Life in Punta Arenas (3)

in the cemetery of Punta Arenas, Chile..... the whole cemetery is surrounded by a high wall where the urns of loved ones are kept ... a five storey arrangement here, my linked image has eight storeys .... a truly unusual way of saving space ...

    Quite an interesting set-up! I wouldn't think such a space problem could exist in Punta Arenas!...Nice documentation,Adele.
    friendly regards

    Ich vermute, daß diese Art der Beerdigung von Spanien kommt. Jedenfalls habe ich es dort so ähnlich gesehen.
    Gelungene Aufnahme,

    This way of keeping the urns is a most sensible way. Population in these cities there dont keep much space for the living,- so why should the dead use so much. It is nice, that there is a possibility to decorate the places individually.
    A very interesting documentation.
    Kind regards,
    Brigitte

    C'est impressionnant !!!
    il y en a aussi dans les cimetières français... mais beaucoup moins car l'incinération n'est pas habituelle dans notre pays !!
    bien vu

    At least there is some room for decoration - not just name plates.

    Une photo inhabituelle qui me rappelle les cimetières italiens. Belle photo documentaire.

    Es ist ein Platzproblem, das stimmt.
    Aber es bleibt hier jedem doch genügend Raum, um die Nische nach seinem Geschmack auszuschmücken und Lieblingsdinge des Verstorbenen mit auszustellen... LG! a.

    C'est peut être une solution d'avenir en effet pour économiser la place .Bonne et originale photo . Merci Adèle

    This is a spectacular view of the wall covered with niches for the urns. Kind of public housing for dead ones !! Very interesting capture - Hugs, Elvi
