At the Exhibition of Economic Achievement October 28-30 is International funeral show "Necropolis-2008.
Whether it is in honor of the financial crisis, whether for Halloween.
But in any case - "the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy.
At the very show go did not want (more of which: ticket - 1300-1900 rubles), but there actually is quite understandable that - coffins, wreaths, memorials, urns, hearses, kremulyatory, all other fringe and funeral winch. Crowded. Fun.
Did a little shoot from the balcony.
