Cemetary


This is a Guyanese cemetary. The tombs are built over the gravesite. Guyana is under sea level. There are dikes that hold the sea back and a system of cokers to keep the land from flooding, hence you can't bury someone six feet under. All of the cemetaries that we've seen are overgrown. Some have animals grazing. There is no system for cemetary upkeep so it is up to each individual family.
