80 days and counting.


Final view.


Aside from building up, Seoul has a number of satellite cities where the property values are more affordable. As a result of the sprawl, families have had to come up with more efficient methods of managing the deceased. Cremation is a very popular and affordable option, another is stacking the family tombs with multiple residents. Few, if any, graveyards exist with housing for much more than twenty tombs. Most of these tomb sites are located in the mountains just outside the city, where hiking trails cut through or around the mounds. Others can be seen on the sides of highways, or nestled right on the edge of the spreading growth boundary.
