Bucharest Cemetery

We went to visit Daniela's husband's grave today.  A beautiful cemetery in the city, just for veterans.  He was a major in the army, but died an unfortunate, untimely death at a very young age.  The graves, much like those in Sighisoara, are above ground and quite beautiful, but with two distinct differences: most of the headstones had pictures of the dearly departed, and there were lanterns everywhere.  The lanterns hold the candles that visitors light for the dead.

Like in the United States: A wife buried with her husband
