Grave Skull

A local cemetery that has fallen into complete dilapidation has busted graves, broken tombs, and rotting coffins baking in the hot sun. A friend and I are starting a campaign to try and get this historic cemetery cleaned and fixed up. This is a shot of a human skull lying in one of the graves that has - from time, weather, and neglect - broken open; the old iron casket inside has rotted and the bones (the pelvis is seen in this shot as well) and skull are visible. There is no headstone or marker for this poor person. The last time I saw this grave, it was full of water and the skull was floating in it. This time it was simply lying on the dank ground inside its crumbled tomb.

I won't lie - I was tempted to take it, but - in the end - I just couldn't. Had it been laying about somewhere, sure, but I'm not going to pull a skull (or any body part, heh) out of someone's grave.

Where did you take this at? They have the same problem in New Orleans but this is pretty sad that the dead are left like this

This individual was probably someone well off.  With the fine mason work of the outer tomb and since the coffin was metal, it was someone of a rich family. Metal coffins in the 1800's were quite expensive and usually purchased by the wealthy.

It appears that this skull belongs to a female. Males usually have bony ridges above the eye orbits. This one doesn't have that as far as I can tell.
