When I was in Austria I visited this cemetery in the tiny town of Halstatt. This room of skulls is in a little shed in the middle of the grounds and if a person of the town wishes to be put into this room when he or she dies, they state it in their will. The family members of the dead paint intricate pictures and designs on the skulls of their loved ones. This is totally open to the public and there are candles lit 24 hours a day. What is so interesting to me about this is that to us it seems almost creepy and disgusting, but the culture over there accepts death differently and much more honestly. This picture looks creepy, but after being there I think it's beautiful! Would you want your skull to be there some day??
