Japan tsunami idaho rainwater 2011 04 08

Japanese military march by coffins for burial at a temporary burial ground, March 25, 2011 in Higashi Matsushima, Japan. Under Japanese Buddhist practice a cremation is the traditional way of dealing with the dead but with the death toll more than 10,000 after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, crematoriums are overwhelmed and there is a shortage of fuel to burn them. Local municipalities are forced to dig mass graves as a temporary solution.
