BURIAL SPIRIT HOUSES. Сemetery Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Colorful boxes placed over the dead are left to rot and crumble. A combination of Russian Orthodox tradition and Native American practices, the graveyard outside of the St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Eklutna, Alaska, is filled with more than 100 colorful burial sites. These fantastic spirit houses, each about the size of a large dollhouse, are considered a part of the Eklutna Historical Park.
