| Description |
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. Great to see the flag flying in the cemetery at one of the graves. A white flag with a red reimiro in the center and four black Tangata manu (bird-man) figures in each corner. The flag of Easter Island Rapa Nui) was adopted on 9 May 2006. It is a white flag with a red reimiro (a wooden pectoral ornament once worn by the people of Rapa Nui) in the center. The Easter Island cemetery is unique in many ways. Some of the tombstones are adorned with motifs that combine Christian and Rapa Nui iconography. There are no good records in what year burials are made, as it is not customary to write the date of death. On the island there is a belief that when there is a series of very frequent deaths of elderly people, they will not stop until a child or young person dies. Funerals are held in the Church of Santa Cruz and then the funeral procession accompanies the coffin to reach the cemetery. On Easter Island (Rapa Nui), with approximately 5,600 inhabitants and 25 deaths during 2012. The most common cause of death are cardiovascular accidents, the sick are often transferred to Santiago in Chile. When the patient dies in the capital, his remains are transferred to the island. There are no funeral companies on the island, so the relatives have to take care of all details of the funeral, from the construction of the coffin to the transfer to the cemetery. |
