Vienna has probably one of the more famous cemeteries in the world, the "Zentralfriedhof" (central cemetery). It's mentioned in official tour guides and definitely is worth a visit if you're planning a trip to Vienna. Comprising about 330k graves in total, you can find the last resting places of, e.g., Beethoven, Brahms, Falco, or Schubert. As it is a cemetery owned by the city (and not a denomination, as it's often the case in Europe), you can find catholic, protestant, orthodox, Jewish, Muslim, Mormon, and Buddhist graves on the Zentralfriedhof. There are also special areas for the fallen of most sides of both World Wars.

Now, the cemetery's administration released three Lego sets (probably just custom Lego sets and no "official" sets, I'm not quite sure), if you always wanted to have our own graveyard in your Lego builds.

The cemetery set:

The crematory set:

The mortuary carriage set:

A view of all three sets, plus a "Mourning family" set (on the left) consisting of mourners, two deceased, and a skeleton (you read that right):

Closer look at the mourning family:

You can buy them here, but be warned these are very expensive even for Lego sets (and they're pretty small, after all). This is probably because they aren't really produced in big numbers and licensing Lego (without them being "official" Lego sets) can't be cheap.

Once these sell out they are going to be worth a fucking fortune. And they're neat.

Uh, can I have an English source that states this is an actual collaboration with the LEGO company, and not just customs sets people put up for sale (this is common for custom World War II sets for instance).

Just because it uses genuine LEGO parts (and not for instance clone bricks), doesn't make it officially licensed/designed/or even approved by TLC.

You're right, I'm not sure if it's really in collaboration with Lego or just custom sets. Probably the latter, as it says "made from Lego components" on the shop. I'll edit the OP.

The mourner set is amusing mostly due to the deceased looking like scarecrows.

The remainder are neat, conceptually, but even though those are specialty sets they're too plain in design. And things like the gravestone are just one massive sticker.

Yeah there's absolutely no way that these are official Lego sets

They're hilarious, though, time to send them to some of my more morbid friends!

The deceased figures looked too happy to be dead. And the skeleton looks like he can fight the whole family of mourners and the dead.
I'm glad I don't have a bone to pick with him.

Looks like they're custom sets by this creator:
