The Church of Bones - Czech Republic

The remains of over 40,000 people provide the 'unusual' decoration for Bohemia's most notorious church.
The bones grace the walls, ceilings and floors. "It looks to me like a scene from a horror movie -- but it is very nice," comments one visitor. The decor was inspired by the need to address overcrowding in the cemetery during the 19th century. Townsfolk see the church as a place of worship but detractors say the dead should be left to rest in peace -- not pieces.

@traluxi Well, if that's how u feel, put it in writing but for me, I'd rather stay down there. Can u tell me who will know it's ur bones decorating the place? Just the thought of using dead people's bones is repulsive .

@hasmos I would prefer being used for impressive art over rotting 6 feet under..wouldnt you?
-
so want to visit here, saw a clip on tv and it has good energy, peaceful heavenly dead souls.
?! it's not disrespectful, in Tibet for example they have kept bones of particularly spiritual people and used them in caves - your life energy is contained in the bones, your aura been vibrating them all your life and imbibes them with your frequency.

In my opinion, when a person is dead, his remains should be treated with respect. If these were relatives of yours would you like to see their bones decorating walls? I think this is a terrible wrong.

This reminds me of the cruelty and barbarism of the Crusades and all this done by the name of Jesus and religion of mercy. ISLAM never do like that .

I think it's pretty cool. They needed room and here was an answer to their problem. I plan on being an organ donor and whatever is left over, can be used to decorate. I don't mind. Hell, I won't give a sh**. I'll be dead ;-)

cool i would have no problem if they use my body for this when I'm dead :)
-
this reminds me of how I want my skull and bones to help educate medical students after I am dead.
