VIENNA : Just in time for Halloween on Friday and a weekend devoted to the dead, Vienna’s unashamedly morbid Funeral Museum is now closer to the action: the Austrian capital’s huge Central Cemetery. In a city with a singular attitude to kicking the bucket - ‘Death himself must be a Viennese,’ one local song says - the ‘Bestattungsmuseum’ was the world’s first of its kind when it first opened in 1967. This month it reopened, updated for the digital age, in new premises at the Zentralfriedhof, the second-largest cemetery in Europe by surface area. But with some three million ‘inhabitants’, the graveyard is the biggest by number of interred. The stepped entrance to the subterranean museum takes people literally down into the underworld of undertakers from centuries past, ‘into the realm of the dead,’ museum director Helga Bock told AFP.
