My wife and I have chosen to be cremated. We don't want to sit on some mantle or have any place special where we'd like to be spread. Through Deb's family, we were given two cemetery plots in the cemetery where we got married. I like the idea of leaving a headstone, so we'll have our ashes buried there.
@Retired_Engineer: Good catch! What I actually meant to write was that we were given two cemetery plots in the little town where we got married. There is only one church and one (active) cemetery in that town. There is also an "old" cemetery that has no more spaces in it. We'll be next to Deb's mother and brother that have already passed. Â
My own parents are buried in Baton Rouge. They bought four plots when they first moved to BR back in the 1950s. My parents are buried there as well as my younger sister and younger brother. Neither of those siblings were married. My older sister is buried next to her husband in Baker, LA. 4951
