Commemorations have been taking place at different monuments across Slovenia in the past days. Compared to the rest of the year, All Saints’ Day is also the day when the largest number of people head to cemeteries to commemorate those who have passed away.

A respectful treatment of the dead can be found in all civilizations. Latest excavations have shown that graves were used by Neanderthals as early as a 100 000 years ago.
