An ancent roman/greek myth I've always enjoyed was the one of Baucis and Philemon (here's a link to their story if you're curious http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baucis_and_Philemon).
At the end of their life, it is said they got to die together and turn into trees which are forever entertwined. This always struck me as a really romantic concept which I was reminded about after seeing the bones pictured above. I wonder what their story was? What happened to them? I'm also happy for them-- that they were able to die in the comfort of one another.
P.S. The bones were found 25 miles south of where Romeo and Juliet's story takes place. Interesting coincidence.
