The Boneyard

Macabre Havana Bone Yard

In one part of Colon Cemetery is the celebrated "boneyard."
A grave for one person in this cemetery for a term of five years costs $10, and a grave for three persons costs for each person $3.
At the end of five years, if the remains are not claimed, they are thrown by the cemetery authorities into the boneyard.






Some American soldiers were accustomed to take skulls and bones from the boneyard, and to drive through the streets of Havana with them.

Ainda não se lembraram de os reciclar, transformando-os em hóstias...
