Bargain Burial

In Guatemala City the city graveyard and city dump come together.
People who cannot afford to bury their families are "given" a vault for 7 years.
After that time if they haven't paid,the vault is "opened"
the remains are removed(bones only at that point) and given to the family.
Then it's ready for the next person.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II
1/3200s f/5.0 at 200.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
