The document discusses the Merry Cemetery located in Săpânța, Romania. It describes how the cemetery diverges from typical European views of death as solemn by featuring colorful tombstones painted with scenes from the deceased's life. The founder is identified as Stan Ioan Pătraş, a local artist who carved the first tombstone crosses in 1935. More than 800 crosses were added by the 1960s. The inscription on Pătraş's own tombstone emphasizes that he meant no harm but did good for others throughout his life.
