I wouldn't mind just sleeeping in that casket.

I loved it! This one looks almost like it's under water, or like there's water reflecting on the walls. This is great. I'm so glad to see that no vandals have ruined the place.

That wall is awesome. It looks like the stone is being eaten away by something.

Don't they still place caskets within caskets?

The fancy box goes into a large cement one.

(I only know this because I was hanging around an extremely active graveyard a few years ago, it was a place where my friends and I first learned how to drive. There was an open grave there just about every day.)

This was one of my favorite galleries. Well done Motts! :-)

I too love the poem Twug and I agree with both Janice and Lynne. This place is both breathtaking and the resting place of some very important people.

A casket inside a casket? Interesting idea. I really like the outside of this one though. I wonder how old it is.

That is beautiful Motts. Look at the almost velvet look of one of the coffins on the lower right.

I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHAT THE OTHER COFFIN INSIDE LOOKS LIKE. IS IT MADE OUT OF CEMENT OR WOOD?

THE BODY MIGHT STILL BE PRESERVED.

Another awesome find.

Great series. Always a pleasure to catch up with this site!

No outside shots unfortunately...

I appreciate the information, but the location was quite easy to find with the comments posted... apologies for editing the comments and obscuring the name in the photo more.

Beautiful poem, Twug! Very appropriate to this beautiful place. They must have been very important people to be in a crypt that held only 15 caskets. I've never seen anything like this before. These caskets must have cost a good deal of money, with their workmanship. And not disturbed! Any grave robbers would have at least taken the crowns.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!
