Next to the Catholic church in Halstatt, Austria, is a cemetery where the dead are interred for only ten to fifteen years before the space has to be reused. This morbid practice became necessary due to the lack of flat land in which to bury the dead. It wasn't until 1966 that the Catholic Church accepted cremation as an alternative. The Ossuary, or Charnel House, becomes home to the 1200+ skulls of these exhumed bodies. Many are decorated, the men with painted ivy, women with painted flowers, some with names and dates.
