Amari cemetery differs from other burials in Estonia. Here are buried the pilots who died during the Soviet era, when Estonia was part of the USSR, and their graves are decorated with the tail keels of combat aircraft. It is not so easy to find this place - it is located in the middle of the forest, but it is worth seeing it: there is no other such place to be found.
This cemetery is located near the small town of Amari, in northern Estonia, not far from the air force base. Initially, the burials were located in a different place, it is assumed that they were made around 1945. However, a few years later they were barbarously dug up in search of trophies - this is accused of escaping prisoners from a nearby prison. Therefore, in 1949, all the graves were carefully moved to a new place, where once upon a time there was also a cemetery.
As for the tail keels, which were used instead of gravestones, there is no consensus: perhaps these are really the planes on which these pilots flew, or maybe they were taken from other ships. Unfortunately, there is no reliable data on this score. However, despite the fact that the cemetery is located in a remote place, literally in the middle of the forest, it is well maintained.
Ossetia also hosts unusual cemetery, however, these burials are unlikely to be transferred, even if the need arises: this is a real funerary city with its houses and flowering meadows.

From now on, another alternative has appeared: the bodies of the dead are proposed to be returned to the ground in a special capsule, from which a tree later grows
