Since the end of the year is upon us I thought this might strike a suitably grave note (forgive the pun)
About 15 years ago I visited
Hallstatt in Austria where space in the graveyard is so limited that the deceased only get 12 years underground to decompose before their bones are disinterred and placed in the
charnel house.
If that sounds too gruesome to you, don't check out the Ossary which makes Hallstatt look positively conservative in its skeletal presentation.
