If you saw it in a comic you may think the Goth thing over done, but this photo on William Gibson's blog is from The Czech Republic, plague victims apparently...

There's quite a few places similar to this. As I remember one is in the crypt of a monastery and is designed to give the viewer a sense of the passage of time and impermance of life. I once had a web-link to it but it now seems to be dead. I think they're called ossary's (sp?) but I may be wrong.

Saw this one last year - the catacombs beneath the Monastery of San Fransisco in Lima, Peru - not only nearly 10,000 people's remains, but arranged in pretty patterns or sorted into separate pits of femurs, then tibias, then ribs etc. 'twas very spooky. More here

I was there , in Kutna Hura a couple of times. I love it. I even bought a couple of plaster skulls that were cast from some of the residents

here I am, soberly reflecting on the poignancy of life and death

That'll be the imaginatively named Church of Bones where I plan to get married should such a thing happen. Bit of a cliche, yes but as one of my friends got married in Vegas on Hallowe'en, you'll understand the bar's been set pretty high  :D
