Vancouver Cemetaries

[Marshal]

In Italy they build large ossuary structures as central components in cemetaries. These can contain thousands of remains, some in the traditional form of bone houses, but most 20th century ossuaries utilize small compartments to intern ash containers of various sorts.

Aldo Rossi, the famous Italian ratio-postmodern minimalist architect, designed a couple of ossuaries; the most notable being in Modena at the Cemetery of San Cataldo complex.
