So sad. So Loved. My feelings are that is to keep the person warm in the winter. My mother (when she was alive) always put a grave blanket on my fathers grave. It was made of evergreens and flowers ect. The purpose was warmth. That,s the feeling I get from this photo.

This one Is the most interesting of all, so far. Looks like it was made yesterday. I agree, RESPECT. Your doing an awsome job. YOU ARE GOOD!!! I've told my daughter that when I go , I don't want to be cremated. Eons from now I hope that they exume me to find out what life like in this era. I don't feel that is disrespect. That is research. What do you think?????

Beautiful, Just beautiful. The person who made it must be very proud. I hope that the person who wore it apprediated it . Ya know these were real people, just like you and I. They worked, slept, ate and had lives. Thats the way I look at this . Some day it,s gona be us . I hope the future generations have the same respect that you do for these places.

I'm confused. My feelings are that someone placed it there after the funeral and it must have profound meaning. Must be Love. So Sad

I'm seeing the masonry. It's something you hardly see anymore. I've been in some crypts here in the U.S. They can't compare to this. No way. Do you know what era this was built in????? Makes me think about the people who built it.

The coffin looks rather plain for the crown to be resting on it. Looks like it goes with the second coffin I saw, the more ornate one. The crown looks so dusty, can't tell what it's made of. Could you tell? Looks like it may contain jewels. Did it???????

Aosome craftwork you just don.t see work like that anymore. Makes me ponder the person that made that. The work that went into making it, and the man himself. Thats what I see.

Did you just peek inside or did you pry it open after you took the picture? (just kidding) Truthfully, I don't see how you resisted . Awsome Photo!!!!!! Wish I'd been there. My kind of place.
