History

Cemeteries have existed for a long time. The concept has not changed to this day, but this is not only a place for those who have left forever. Here you can plunge into thoughts about the eternal, sit in silence. Some people think that you can meditate here – the energy is so high. Looking at the tombstones of different people, you involuntarily think that life is short, you need not put it off until later.
