Cemetery somewhere between Valparaiso and Pomaire

Debbie organised a tour by big taxi from Villa Alemana to Pablo Neruda’s house on the coast.  Bóveda is the Spanish word for a mausoleum which rich and important people had.  On the way we stopped at an interesting cemetery in a little village off the beaten track in a farming community.

	Roman Catholic Chilean cemetery! - On the way we stopped at an interesting cemetery in a little village off the beaten track in a farming community.		Above ground  - Most of the people were buried in walls above ground in their caskets.		Unlike graves I know! - Beautiful well-attended graves.
	Well attended! - Roman Catholic country!		Waiting - Ready! - Note the shelves waiting for the coffins.		Family support! - More space for coffins. Families are buried together.
	Beautiful! - Look at the side for the coffin space.		Chilean cemetery - Coffins are there.		On our way! - Leaving the cemetery.
