Original skull

My hubby & I were invited to celebrate at family doctor’s open new office, they move out bigger one with renovation/new furniture etc last January but we didn’t pay our attention something what they have in closet glass until this morning…

I went to doctor today. I was in doctor’s office room waiting for her to come in…I sat on doctor’s office room with my head movement and look around new office room until I spot the skull in closet with glass. I went to close (real close) to the closet glass to see ORIGINAL skull… I was like :eek: and wondering to myself either it does allow to decorate original skull like this??? *goose bump*

Of course I asked her as she came in. She told me that it’s her Grandma’s skull and said that she’s well-known dentist around Germany. (I guess it could be WWII time)…

As far as I know it’s not allow to decorate original human bones in Germany… It looks like those doctors are the one who allow to decorate original human bones????? :dunno:

Yes, I have seen real bones, organs, etc. in Bodyworlds museum with my hubby & children but decorate in room?

Would you image to decorate real bones of your relatives in your house?

Have you see anything what doctors decorate real human bones in their closet?

I told my co-worker about this after arrive work from doctor appointment later. She was like :eek: and said that she never heard about this. She know it's not normal to decorate like this.

We talked about Cemetery statute law here in Germany where the burial/cremation removal after 10 years for cremation and 20 years for burial graveyard property agreement contract. We believe it could be that doctor keeps her Grandma’s skull after burial removal… :dunno: but normally, it’s not allowed… (I can't ask her where she get her Grandma's skull from). I told her that it couldn't be from burial removal but from WWII??????????????

Burial/cremation removal of graveyard property between 10 and 20 years agreement contract here in Germany. … You have to pay the charge of graveyard property if you want to extend the contract to keep graveyard property after 10 or 20 years contract running out. They removed 20 years old corpses if you don’t want to extend your contract but we don’t know what they do with corpses. It’s expensive to extend the contract agreement. My FIL paid around $5,000 for 20 years graveyard property burial for my MIL. We paid around $1,500 for 10 years cremation graveyard property for my hubby’s great Aunt.


What about you? Discuss…

Can you please explain the law to me? I don't understand. Do you mean that after 20 years, the cemetery digs up bodies? Why? If they do, what do they do with the bodies?

I'm sorry this is confusing to me because the laws and customs in the US are much different. In the the US, after a body is buried, it usually stays in that grave forever.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post. :dunno:
 
Liebling..

wow... Different your germany law cemetery max 10 to 20 years dead body extueme out and what do w/bodies go ? Burn them ? Toss into garbage.. ?

Here's Cemetery is forever stay there.. even 100's year or more.. still there..
Of course Cemetery easily get full and find another land expanded... extra cemetery more..
I do not know why?
I wish that Museoum(house stone) not going grave cemetery.. Museoum build all over.. and cremation body then put it into the stone house.. kept your name forever.. ain't waste space.

Oh well...

Yes you understand correct...

If you want extend graveyard property after 20 years contract run out then pay to keep them...

Why? Because it's expensive to extend more properties to bury or cremation... Tooooo many burials/cremations... If you want to extend your graveyard property then you has to pay to new contract for other 10 or 20 years after 10 or 20 years contract. A lot of Germans often say that it's "cemetery business"... I has to agree with them. :ugh:

One thing, they didn't remove soliders and Jewish burial during WWI and WWII but show respect on them. It's government's property.

As what you said that body stay in grave and stays forever is the same as in England as well.

Where bodies go? :dunno:

*I must go home now... I will make more post later*
 
20 years later when the contract is up, and they are allow to dig out the grave to keep the bodies? YIKE, why in the world would they want to do that?.... :dunno:


I wouldn't want to dig my grandfather's grave to keep his bones in my house, I might never go to sleep at night

Death And Burial Customs In Germany

I found right link at last...

DEATH AND BURIAL CUSTOMS IN GERMANY
http://www.serve.com/shea/germusa/burial.htm

Germans are very fussy and treat graves like their own home. They clean and nurse their grave stone, yard... They put flowers, candles, some toys, angel... on graveyard... They show their respect on their relatives grave and take care of them everyday to weekly and show their respect on birthdays, Easter, public holidays, wedding anniversaries.....

Americans saw how well care graveyard in Germany and was like wow that Germans are very fussy about graveyard which different as in America, they said. Interesting, but German would disgust if they see any unclean and uncare graveyard, etc...

burial removal after 20 years, if you want to keep burial forever then extend other 20 years contract...

Most of Germans died and buried on the same grave where their relatives are buried.

Yes we have cremation wall... they are cheaper than buried cremate on the grave. Still the same with contracts... with cremation for 10 years... burial for 20 years.

It´s too many if you keep burial and cremation forever... which it mean that it extend more property... too many that´s why German law decide after WWII. The grave of Soliders and Jewish stay forever.
 
I wouldn't mind having a real skull on display if it represents someone that I look up to and if that person is fine with it. It's kinda like the wishes of the deceased. If they prefer to be buried, fine. If they prefer to be cremated, fine. If they prefer to be donated to science, fine. If they are okay with me keeping their skull, fine. :)
 
Can you find out what the Germans do with the bodies after the contract was expired??

I read the link but it doesn't explain what they do with the remains after 20 years. Also, what happens to the grave markers (tombstones)?

Hubby and I have bought and paid for our plots, and our daughter and son-in-law bought their's also, so we have them all in the same place. They are permanent; that is, no one else can use them.

When I visit Connecticut, I still see the graves of my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., back to the 1600's. Americans use cemeteries for much of their genealogical research. There is much history in grave yards.

Yes its same here in Australia, it is harder to trace the owners since we knows its very unlikely for anyone to stay in the same address for 20 years plus (some states saying 25 to 50 years), as they forgot to up-dated, this not always prove to be fruitful, and then the government put a public notice in the newspaper, throughout the 12 month period for the right owner/s to come forward, if no-one comes forward, they will re-sell the burial plot to another person. If the right owner comes forward, they can extension to 5-10 or 15 years lease.
