Have to be death really sad? ;) – Merry Cemetery

As we know, the death in Europe is associated with sadness, tears and with all this negative emotions. I suppose many of you don’t know that in Romania there is a Merry Cemetery.  Moreover, such kind of cemetery is the only one in Europe. The Merry Cemetery is located in Săpânța, in a small village in north of Romania and it was created by Ioan Stan Patraş.

The most interesting thing is the fact that on every grave is painted and described the history of life of citizen. The crosses are made of wood, and the graves are painted in blue. Everything is richly decorated with floral and geometric motifs, that undoubtedly makes Merry Cemetery a piece of art.

Do you think is it good idea or cemetery should be related to the seriousness? ;)
