The Unconventional Tombs

This is what a two tier looks like

In a Country where grave sites are limited,as one can see in the distance the new norm of tombs are all due to limited space for burials, what was normal then is now passe in some communities,and it is getting harder to find burial sites in the cemetery, so families are reverting to having three tier tombs built and they can be seen in most cemeteries especially in the City these three tier tombs are called by the local inhabitants "Condos for the Dead." In the days when the tombs were build as a normal and standard entity  is not  the norm in a grave site today.

Another view of the two tier

The tombs that you are looking at is only two tiers high now imagine how high the three tiers are, because space is and issue at the cemeteries on the island the is only one way to go which is up, but the land scape at the cemeteries are becoming to look more like a housing scheme instead of a cemetery.

An ordinary grave as it should be

On the right is a look at what the normal grave site looked like before the two and three tier tombs were constructed it is ashamed to know that because of space that the land scape of the cemeteries are now changing to resemble the landscape of modern housing, not for the living but for the dead. In some cases on the island families are allowed to bury their dead on their land if there is enough room to do so given certain circumstances, that is that the property remains in the family possession, or if the lands are sold the family fenced the area around the tombs and maintain the grave site. The funeral homes are  now performing cremations in order to save on burial sites,which means lands are being saved.
