They are incredibly creative when laying grave flowers after burial.

Falkerslev Church is located on a flat terrain a little north of Falkerslev village. The whitewashed church, which consists of a Romanesque choir and a ship with a Gothic west tower and porch from 1862 at the west end of the tower. The choir is built entirely of chalk squares on a sloping shelf. The ship is built of monk stone, probably a little later than the choir. The tower is erected in the late Gothic period by monk stones and boulders. The altarpiece is a painting from 1845, The Baptism of Jesus, by August Thomsen. The barrel-shaped baptismal font of granite is Romanesque. The pulpit was carved in 1640 by Jørgen Ringnis.

Dryburgh Abbey

Dryburgh Abbey on the banks of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders was founded in 1150 in an agreement between Hugh de Morville, Constable of Scotland, and the Premonstratensian canons regular from Alnwick Abbey in Northumberland. The arrival of the canons along with their first abbot, Roger, took place in 1152.

It was burned by English troops in 1322, after which it was restored only to be again burned by Richard II in 1385, but it flourished in the fifteenth century. It was finally destroyed in 1544, briefly surviving until the Scottish Reformation, when it was given to the Earl of Mar by James VI of Scotland. It is now a designated scheduled monument and the surrounding landscape is included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.

David Erskine, 11th Earl of Buchan bought the land in 1786. Sir Walter Scott and Douglas Haig are buried in its grounds.
