#8. Undredal, Norway
Underal has more goats in it than people (a ratio of about 100:500). But that’s all good since the town is famous for their brown goat cheese and goat sausages.

This Is The Underwater City for The Dead – And It’s Absolutely Beautiful!
This has got to be the most peaceful resting place ever.
For some people, where they will end up after they die is a big thing. While some are perfectly content with the idea of having the conventional cemetery as their final resting place, there are people who prefer other ways of spending their eternal rest. Those who love the water can consider getting buried at the Neptune Memorial Reef, an underwater columbarium in the world's largest man-made reef.
Inspired by the underwater city of Atlantis, the Neptune Memorial Reef is located 40 feet under the sea and covers 600,000 square feet of the ocean floor off the coast of Key Biscayne near Miami, Florida. At present, it accommodates around a thousand remains. Originally, there are expansion plans that can house more than 100,000.
