I might not be as 'cultured' as some people, but to me, what's in those pics I find totally abhorrent.

Not you Tony, what's in those pics.

Col,

Just for a bit of context, it was often the case that some religious people desparately wanted to be interred in sacred sites but there was simply not enough ground for them to be buried in. The church therefore created ossiaruies (basically bone stores) so that peoples wishes could be accommodated.

If you find it macabre, fair enough - but hopefully it will give you some comfort to know this sort of thing is not done with ill-intent and with the wish of the dead.

When I took the GSX to Budapest a few years ago I stopped off at the Sedlec Ossuary; the nearby church had had soil from the holy land or some other such thing brought to its grounds and therfore became the interment place of choice for many people who could not be accommodated. At this site the bones were arranged decoratively as well as being stacked in alcoves:

It's like anything, if you expose yourself to it enough, you get desensitised. (and arrested if caught!) :happy1:

Seriously though, I wouldn't cross the street to see anything like that.
