One of the island cemeteries


Since the north wind was still blowing we decided to walk in Xylokeratidi again this morning. 
It feels like a ten degree difference between Chora (with the wind) and this area.


The cemetery had fresh displays of flowers and plants.


This musician's life was celebrated on his coffin.


A fisherman's coffin had shells and stones from the local beach. 

During our tour of the cemetery we spotted something we had never seen before. 
A coffin had been exhumed and the bones, after being washed and cleaned, 
were laid out do dry in the sun.


Later they will be stored in a box in the small cemetery church.
