In Venice, there is a boat design for just about every purpose. These 'hearse' boats are not an uncommon sight, heading out to the beautiful walled island cemetery of San Michele.
Like everything else in Venice, it is so different from a normal way of doing things, but is so simple and elegant.
The graves were beautifully tended. Very few old graves were present though, so we were unsure whether the ground is constantly recycled... Its a pretty small island given Venice's incredible length of history!
