    A museum is helping children understand and come to terms with death – with a set of funeral scenes available to buy and build using Lego bricks and minifigures.They include a gravedigger with tomb and even a crematorium oven.Younger visitors to the Bestattungsmuseum, the Funeral Museum in Vienna, Austria, can buy the kits put together and packaged for the museum by a local company. They are NOT official Lego sets and so are described as “being made of Lego components.”The first product made was an historical tram, which brought dead bodies to the cemetery and was used in Vienna between the first and second world wars. The tram was aimed at collectors and was followed by a truck and a historical hearse.”The cemetery, which is one of the largest in the world with over 330,000 graves and tombs spread over 590 acres.It includes the graves of many famous names such as composers Ludwig van Beethoven and Johann Strauss.
