Did anyone see this?

I was watching TV, and the news had this. They showed a crypt system where they were loading shrouded bodies into compartments. It looked like a wall with variable heights, like steps. It was outside, like a decorative fence. The compartments were not marked with names, there were no coffins loaded, just victims bodies covered over.

It was ghoulish. I just wondered what country that was in. I can't imagine that working well, and I wonder why they just didn't bury them in a mass grave with a garden on top, or something.

It sounds neither ghoulish nor that it wouldn't work well for local conditions. WhiskeyGrinder Oct 2020 #11

I guess you don't want to reveal any further information. So, good luck getting an answer.

You can't think of any other reason that was my answer? Such as, I don't know anything else?

If I knew, I wouldn't be asking! Geez...

One thing people are pretty good at is managing their dead, no matter where they live.
