This looks like the Merry Cemetery in Sapanta, Romania. Not only are the hand-carved headstones works of art, but they often represent the deceased in their life's occupation, and may include touching epithets. There is much info on the Web about this place.

its in Northern Romania
Yes, it's in Romania!
We call it "Cimitirul Vesel" = "The Joyfull Cemetery"
It's an interesting way of seeing death, don't you think?
