πŸŽ™οΈPlan for a coffin train I mention on @deathstudiespod.bsky.social! This would have transported corpses ~30 km from Paris to MΓ©ry-sur-Oise, where Haussmann planned to build a 5k-acre Necropolis (that’s roughly 45x the size of PΓ¨re-Lachaise!) to accommodate Paris’s dead for the next 600 years πŸš‚βš°οΈ
