Living with the Dead

by heathervescent

Here's an interesting story out of Manila. Due to a housing shortage and exploding birth rates, people are left without a place to live, so they've started moving in with dead relatives!

After being forced from their state lot beside the cemetery to make way for a new graveyard, Bernardino and her husband have converted her mother-in-law's mausoleum into a home for their two sons, their wives and children.

I think it's a horrible situation to live in a cemetery and I wonder if Mom (or the other relatives) are able to rest in peace. Read the story.
