St. Ursula traveled from England to Rome in the 3rd century with 11,000 virgins. On their return they were captured, tortured and killed by Huns in what is now Cologne, Germany. Their remains were found in the 1100s. The Church of St. Ursula is next to where the remains were found (or perhaps built above where the bones were found?). The bones were place inside the church in the Bone Room. There are numerous reliquaries and skulls. And many bones were attached to walls in the room. Some bones were arranged into Latin words which read, "Holy Ursula, Pray For Us."
Deathternity talks about all things death related. There are 1 million+ owned graves in cemeteries in America that people will not use. Cemeteries do not buy graves back. I would encourage people to begin thinking about either selling or buying these graves at a deep discount to what your cemetery charges. Or you can donate unused graves for a tax deduction. If I can help you with this please contact me here, email me at deathternity@gmail.com, or call me at 215-341-8745. My fees vary.
