Kaisergruft

I never gave much thought to how I would like my remains to be handled after I died.

I don't think that I would want to be put in a huge decorative metal casket and left for a hundreds of years underground though.  That just doesn't seem like a nice final resting place.

But I'm not a Habsburg so what do I know.

Even after they're dead, I guess the Habsburgs wanted everyone to know how important they were.

Or maybe it was just a tradition and it was expected of them.

One thing is for certain: there are waaaay too many Habsburgs/aristocrats named "Marie Theresa". Of course the largest sarcophagus is THE Maria Theresa though...
