		The trend to cremation since the 1960s means that many of the deceased now occupy a niche in one of several imposing public columbaria, the design of which allows for the circulation of crowds at the two festivals, and sometimes incorporates lawns for picnics.
		The strong resistance to cremation is illustrated by the practice of smuggling bodies from such cities into places where local law still permits coffin burial.17 In other cases, individuals have shown their resistance to the mandatory requirement for cremation by constructing elegant graves, in which they place coffins containing the ashes of their deceased relative.
		There can be few modern cities in which provision for the dead in this way is so striking; so closely integrated, in terms of distance, with the residential, commercial and industrial quarters of the city; and so integrated into the pattern of the year, with the gravesweeping festivals included in the public holiday cycle.
