What happens is a family will inter a family member in this beautiful cemetary...after two years they must then either buy a cement box and place their loved ones in a mausoleum (I think $10 a year) or take out their family and place them someplace else. This photo was taken in an area where if you don't make those arrangements, the bones are just tossed into a large pit that has large metal doors over it. I was taken back by what I saw and then found out why. As I have gone back to the cemetary it's not unusual to see coffins out in the open and and broken into. It is sad...but I think the need for clothing and shoes...possibly the lure of anything of value there are thieves. But then in light of the situation in Cuba...stealing from the living or dead is a epidemic.Roy Llerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505671212130109396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999834801776580640.post-85789039001276758202008-02-14T12:15:00.000-05:002008-02-14T12:15:00.000-05:00Is this image really from el Cementerio de Colon? ...Is this image really from el Cementerio de Colon?
