A proposito di questo titolo

Atlantic Canada experiences harsh winters where the thick layers of snow and frozen ground were impenetrable back in the day.


Have you ever considered what folks used to do with the bodies of their loved ones during the frigid winter months?


Join us today to hear Chelsea share the story of the remaining Charnel Houses of Newfoundland and Labrador, a traditional winter resting place for bodies of those who couldn’t be buried due to the elements (some of which are still in use today).
