Paamiut Cemetery

In front the oldest part, then the newer and finally the newest in the background. In Greenland graves are kept in at least 50 before they are cancelled end can be used again.

Because there are rocks under the mound the graves aren't deep. They dig as deep they can and cover with soil.

In Greenland there aren't any undertakers, coffins are sold at the local hardware store and relatives take the coffins with the deceased to the cemetery eventually by truck.

Graves are simple with a white wooden cross and the graves covered with plastic flowers. Now and then you also see headstones.
