kirkegård

Not far from us there is a beautiful cemetery , which we explored a bit this weekend.  Each gravesite is separated from the next with a low hedge.  The ones pictured here are on the large size, but even the smaller sites have the same well-manicured hedge.

a cemetery like Roskilde's

Scattered throughout the cemetery are lovely fountains with watering cans.

The hearses here, like some other countries, have windows to allow everyone to see the coffin.

Many headstones have the phrase, "Tak for alt," which literally means, "Thanks for everything," but is generally held to a greater meaning to express deep gratitude.  I am unclear whether it is gratitude from or toward the deceased.
