The Merry Cemetery is located in the village of Sapanta, Maramures County, Romania. The Merry Cemetery is named so because of its unusually colourful tombstones, naïve paintings, poetic and funny epitaphs. The reasons for such a joyous display at a cemetery have been linked to the Dacian culture, which believes that death is only a moment filled with joy and anticipation for a better life.
