  8. #WordyWednesday: Catacombs

    Another “cat” derived post? Don’t mind if I do!

    Catacombs are underground galleries that house dead bodies in caskets, shrouds, urns, or fully exposed as bones.

    They're excavated into areas with tombs, niches, chambers, and passageways. Spaces for bodies in the wall (loculi) may be sealed with tiles, plaster, brick and mortar, or marble slabs.

    One of the most famous examples is the Paris Catacombs (although technically it's an ossuary since it's used for bones), which is home to over 6 million people's remains.
